Build bigger games with smarter code
Description
Code Adventurers builds on Code Explorers and helps students strengthen their Scratch skills through more advanced game projects. Learners design and build more complex, polished games while improving problem-solving, coding confidence, and project planning. This course also provides a gateway to foundational AI concepts, helping students begin to understand how intelligent systems work.
As projects grow in complexity, students learn to structure code more effectively, use advanced logic, and apply variables and messaging in more organised ways. Each student completes the course by designing, building, testing, and refining an advanced final project.
The course encourages students to think like game designers and engineers, planning, testing, and improving their work through iteration, building resilience and ownership along the way.
This course includes:
-
3 months of hands-on coding and skill-building sessions.
-
Deeper use of variables.
