Coding: Scratch Intermediate (THS)

Our Scratch Intermediate course is designed for students who have completed the introductory Scratch course and are ready to take their coding skills to the next level. In Scratch Intermediate, students will explore more advanced programming concepts such as custom blocks, variables, lists, and more complex conditionals—all within the fun and familiar world of Scratch.

Through hands-on projects, students will develop the ability to design more sophisticated games and animations, practice independent problem-solving, and begin to think more like real programmers. Emphasis is placed on integrating logic and creativity, allowing students to take more ownership of their projects and express their unique ideas through code.

What Students Will Learn:

• Advanced Scratch Concepts: Use custom blocks, variables, lists, and more to build structured, efficient programs

• Creative Game Design: Design multi-level games with scoring, lives, and user interaction

• Real-World Coding Skills: Strengthen logical reasoning and planning through applied math and algorithmic thinking

• Project Development: Build complete projects from concept to final product with an emphasis on independence

• Problem Solving: Tackle more complex coding challenges with guidance and support from instructors

By the end of the course, students will have a strong grasp of intermediate-level programming concepts and be ready for more advanced Scratch courses or text-based coding languages.

Recommended For:

• Returning AlphaMinds Students who have previously completed our full Scratch Beginners (parts I-III) course
• New Students in grades 3–6 who are already familiar with Scratch, have mastered the use of basic blocks, and are ready to advance to more complex programming and game design
