Our live lessons are currently taught in Turkish. Our education advisors can talk with you in English.
First Steps in Coding
- No prior knowledge needed; they make their own work from the first lesson
- A group of 8–10, online lessons in Turkish with a teacher
Children who are comfortable with tablets and games and love making up their own stories. Children ages 5–7 who can’t read or write yet, or are just learning. Children with short attention spans who like working in short, concrete steps.
Every lesson is online with a teacher: a short explanation, then the child creates their own work. In a group of 8–10, the teacher checks every screen; each lesson is 45 minutes.
Your child can break a task into steps and put them in order, use simple loops and conditionals in games, and explain what they made in their own words.
How does the course work?
Lessons are live: the child asks the teacher questions out loud, shares their screen and talks through their work with the group.
The teacher can see every child’s screen, so a child who gets stuck is noticed.
The teacher checks in during the lesson. Instead of giving the solution, the teacher shows where to look.
Every module ends with a finished piece of work; the child presents it to the group, and the work is kept in their portfolio.
We talk about age and experience and suggest the right group. If you’d rather not get a call, you can message us on WhatsApp.
