Online: Onward with SCRATCH - advanced learning and teaching of Computer coding

Kontext / Contexte

When we were young, our parents didn't know which skills we'd need growing up. Many of the jobs and opportunities available today didn't even exist 15-20 years ago. We aim to help prepare our children for their future to give them the best odds in an increasingly digital world, constantly changing and evolving, regardless of the professional path they may choose.

Skills like independent thinking and autonomous learning are therefore extremely important because they allow a young person to adapt to the challenges they come across. Coding represents the perfect combination of such fundamental skills, while pushing creativity and co-operation to whole new levels.
