Digital Learning Paths for Kids Aged 10-12
At Blockcyber, we believe in enriching and empowering people in good digital skills from a young age. Besides the traditional English, Maths, Science, etc subjects taught in schools, we believe that kids and youths can also pick up the new digital ABCDs. Our young kids may not become immediate experts in the Digital ABCDs. However, it is important they get early exposure and understanding at an early age. It is no different from learning a new language such as Spanish, French or Japanese. It is always good to start young.
Unlike mature subjects like Maths, Science, or English, there is often no official or standard curriculum for digital subjects. As such, based on our experience in digital knowledge and teaching youths/kids from different countries and age groups, we have developed clear learning paths and curriculum so that kids and youths can learn in a structured and consistent manner. There are many ways and many paths to learn, but we believe that any kid/youth that follows our Learning Paths will benefit greatly and have a great foundation to digital skills.
Learning Paths for Kids Aged 10-12 years old
This is the golden age to start learning how to code! Kids at this young age loves to play and can start to understand some science and computing concepts. Colours, graphics, visual and sound effects are still useful to capture their attention and imagination. As such, we have designed the learning path to start with Scratch where they will be exposed to visual and block-based programming. We will highly encourage them to progress to Intermediate Scratch and even text-based programming using Python.
This is a suggested path and not the only path for your kids to learn/start. If your kids have started with Scratch earlier, feel free to go straight to the more intermediate courses! Some kids at this age may also want to start immediately with the Python class. This is fine if they can type well on computers and have good proficiency with the keyboard and mouse.
We plan for this path to be one that will give them a structured foundation and inspire their curiosity and interest to learn more. At Blockcyber, we hope to play a positive part in your kid’s learning journey.
Don’t miss this golden age to give your kids a headstart in digital skills!
