Welcome, your young explorers are set to have some great fun! 🌌
During this 12 week learning programme, learners will embark on a journey to learn how to type, create their own zoo game in Scratch, and build a website to showcase their creations.
Through this programme, you will help your students gain confidence in the digital world, enhance their creativity, and develop foundational skills that will set them on a path to becoming young digital creators.
We have prepared some videos to help you support your students and prepare for delivering this programme.
Together, let’s make learning fun!
This programme is made of 4 modules.
Learners will have 12 weeks to complete the 4 modules. We have designed it in a way for this to be self-paced learning, with support and guidance from you as the UTeachMi teacher.
