Explorer years 4-6
At this level, students deepen their understanding of more advanced coding concepts while continuing to build creativity and confidence. They use code to tell compelling stories, design interactive animations, and begin developing their own apps—bringing ideas to life in increasingly sophisticated ways.
As they progress, students transition from block-based coding to text-based programming, starting with Python to build a strong foundation in real-world coding. They also explore web development by designing and building their own web pages using HTML and CSS, and are introduced to the fundamentals of JavaScript to create more dynamic and interactive digital experiences.
Our face-to-face program is further enriched with hands-on robotics, where students work with the BBC micro:bit—a pocket-sized, fully programmable computer—to create innovative, real-world projects. They also learn to program the mBot, applying coding concepts to control sensors, movement, and automation, bridging the gap between software and hardware.
