Digital Explorers: Mastering Computing Skills for the Future – Level 3

Turning Inputs into Outputs & Drawing with Code!

Overview

Level 3 takes young learners deeper into the world of coding by introducing inputs, outputs, and basic calculations. Students will explore how computers process information and turn user inputs into meaningful results. The second half of the course shifts to creative programming, where students use Scratch’s Pen tool to draw patterns and designs with code. This level encourages logical thinking, creativity, and debugging skills.
