Digital Explorers: Mastering Computing Skills for the Future – Level 5

Mastering Loops, Logic & Game Design in Scratch

Overview

In Digital Explorers – Level 5, students will take their computational thinking and programming skills to the next level! This course introduces powerful programming concepts like loops, conditional logic, and coordinate-based movement, helping students build interactive and engaging Scratch projects. By the end of this level, students will be able to create games that challenge both logic and skill.

What Will Students Learn?

Computational Thinking:

• Understanding and applying loops (counter loops and conditional loops).
• Using random numbers to add unpredictability to programs.
• Learning logical conditions to make programs react dynamically.

Programming:

• Using x and y coordinates to position and move sprites on the stage.
• Controlling movement with loops and user input.
• Implementing if-else logic to determine outcomes.
• Designing and programming interactive games.

Hands-on Activities & Projects

• Creating a Multiplication Quiz Game that generates random questions.
• Designing a Parrot Adventure Game, where a hungry parrot chases food.
• Building a Chase Game, where a character pursues a moving target.
• Experimenting with randomization, movement, and conditions to create unique gameplay experiences.

Why Choose This Course?

• Encourages critical thinking and problem-solving through programming challenges.
• Helps students gain confidence in designing their own projects.
• Lays the foundation for game development and logic-based coding.
• Strengthens skills in structured planning and debugging.

By the end of Level 5, children will…

✅ Understand loops and how to control repetitions in a program.
✅ Use random numbers to create engaging and unpredictable challenges.
✅ Master if-else logic to make programs respond dynamically.
✅ Work with x and y coordinates to position and control sprites.
✅ Design and develop fully interactive games in Scratch.
