Here at RP4K, our team is committed to helping developing children build fundamental computer skills for the world of the future. This process begins with our Introductory Early Start program. This level focus on young children, helping them learn basic programming concepts even if they haven’t become fully acquainted with computers!
Our market-leading computer programming courses help young children develop their skills as they create, explore, and play by engaging with the world of computers.
Our Introductory Computer Programming Courses feature:
Developed by Carnegie Mellon University, Alice 2.4 is a program through which students can drag and drop code pieces to put together a puzzle. The process helps the child learn code placement and problem-solving while building their understanding of computers.
First publicly released in 2007 by Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s MIT Media Lab, Scratch is a popular classroom tool to build programs within a web browser or offline editor using drag-and-drop blocks! Great for children working on their keyboard and mouse skills, computer navigation and problem solving skills.
RP4K will help your child learn how to use Scratch version 3.X to recreate a strategic mazed-based timed explosive game in our Early Start+ Scratch Crop Defender course!
Our courses will also help children learn several of the basic concepts of programming, including commenting, loops, objects, commands, and variables. This provides the ideal foundation as children move on to more complex concepts in later courses.
Students at the introductory level are beginning to hone their understanding of numbers. Our introductory courses teach students fundamental concepts such as fractions, decimals, and the beginnings of algebra.
