Scratch Coding Classes for Kids in Kitchener-Waterloo

About this course

Scratch is a block-based visual programming language developed by MIT, designed specifically for children. Students in Kitchener-Waterloo drag and snap code blocks together to create games, animated stories, and interactive projects — no typing required. Behind the colourful blocks are the exact same logical concepts used in every professional programming language: sequences, conditions, loops, and events. Scratch is the strongest possible foundation for everything that follows, including Python, Robotics, and beyond.

What your child will learn

• Core programming concepts: sequences, loops, conditionals, and events
• How to design and build games, animations, and interactive stories
• Logical thinking and breaking a problem into smaller, solvable steps
• How to read a program and predict what it will do before running it
• Debugging: finding and fixing problems when code misbehaves
• Creative project planning: going from idea to a finished, working product
• Foundations that transfer directly to Python and all text-based languages

Example projects students build

Who is this course for?

Complete beginners aged 7–10 in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and New Hamburg. No prior coding experience needed — not even confident typing skills. This is where most Kids Coding Fun students begin, and it is the strongest possible foundation for everything that comes after. Students who complete Scratch are naturally ready for our Python course.
