Miscellaneous / / December 08, 2023
Who will benefit from the course?
A course for elementary school students who know the basics of programming in Scratch and want to qualitatively improve their projects.
What knowledge does the course provide?
We will learn a new graphics tool that will take projects to the next level, as well as get acquainted with the theory of game design and create our first 3D projects in Scratch.
How the training works
At each lesson, students, together with the teacher, explore a new topic that will help young programmers improve their own projects in one of many aspects.
We manually check samples and homework.
We do not leave the written part assignments for self-testing - this is done by OGE experts.
We check “for real”, like in an exam, and as a result you receive detailed feedback. All this is for the sake of speed of preparation and your results.
A personal curator will answer questions within two hours, 24/7.
The curators understand the program and the subject, so they can easily answer your questions about the course and homework - at any time.
They know well how difficult it can be to prepare and understand your worries.
The most important task of a tutor is to help you cope with stress and fear before exams.
The lesson lasts 1 academic hour. Classes are held online on Mondays from 16:00 to 17:00 (Moscow time).
