Hello, parents and guardians!😀 We’ll be holding fun basic coding classes for your 8-12 year olds this April.

Sign up for our Open House event via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/good-code-basic-coding-with-scratch-an-open-house-tickets-33036325539

OPEN HOUSE: To give you a glimpse of our classes, we invite you to our Open House on April 8, 2017, at The Office Project, in Salcedo Village, Makati. During this session, you'll get to know more about us at Good Code and our teaching approach. While we call this an 'open house', registration is still required to make sure everyone gets a comfortable seat in the space (capacity: 25 pax). It would be ideal to only reserve a slot when you're sure of your attendance. :D

CLASSES: We call it 'Basic Coding with Scratch' because our classes will introduce concepts of computer programming through Scratch, a visual programming platform. In 5 Saturdays (April 22 - May 20, 2017), students will learn coding fundamentals while building a game/an interactive project

We’re holding a five-Saturday basic coding course for kids 8-12 this April! In Basic Coding with Scratch, we’ll introduce fundamental coding and computing concepts using Scratch, an open-source platform for visual programming. Throughout the course, they will be building a game/an interactive project, making them comfortable using the various programming concepts and basic computational thinking.

Class details:

Space: The Office Project, in Salcedo Village, Makati.

Time: 5 Saturdays - April 22, April 29, May 6, May 13, and May 20. 9 am to 12 nn.

Tools: Each student is required to bring a laptop.

Email us at hello [at] goodcode [dot] xyz for complete enrollment details.

Interested to get a glimpse of the class? Drop by our Open House on April 8. Sign up via Eventbrite to save yourself a seat.

We'll be at the makerspace area of this year's EduTECH Philippines 2017, thanks to our friends from Makerspace Manila. It's going to be an exciting gathering of educators employing technology in the academe. See you at the SMX Convention Center on February 21-22! :)

We have an exciting set of Scratch classes up ahead at Makerspace Manila!

Music Coders - Students will build an interactive band that creates sounds. They will add sprites to the scene they will create and make these sprites react to an input (key press, mouse click, etc.). By the end of the class, they will learn how to make their creations animate, respond to input, and play music.

Key concepts:

music

sprites

input/output

key events

movement blocks

sounds

Super Animators - Students will create their own superhero character by combining different body parts/features chosen from a set of printed-out images. Students will be grouped together to build their group’s hero. After the activity, they will create the Scratch version of their superhero (originally made on paper) individually, with animation effects.

Key concepts:

animation

code blocks

graphic elements used for animation: paint tool, backgrounds, costumes

Story Crafters - Students will build a game that has multiple outcomes, just like some classic text-based games. Through this exercise, they will be introduced to basic logic flow with conditional statements. Students will be grouped together to share their ideas on story flow and different game endings. Each student will plot their story on Scratch.

Key concepts:

game development

storytelling

if-else statements

logic flow

All classes will be taught using the visual programming language Scratch. Visit http://scratch.mit.edu for more information on the platform.

Note: All classes require students to bring their own laptop and mouse.

Good Code integrates group interaction, along with fun offline activities to aid students in understanding programming concepts.

Enroll your child in a class today! Send us an email at hello [at] goodcode [dot] xyz or hello [at] makerspacemanila [dot] com to sign up. :)

Makerspace Manila is located at 2F Bldg. B, Ayala Malls Solenad 3, Nuvali, Santa Rosa, Laguna.

Our co-founder Claudine was on TV for a bit to talk about Good Code and our participation in this year’s Women Techmakers Manila event. Woooot!

We co-facilitated #‎HourOfCode with offline activities, along with Teachers Steph, Gen, Anna, and Ash, for the Grade 5 students of Mano Amiga Academy in Taguig, last February 20. We gave away stickers, too. :D What a fun class!

Extended Hour of Code/Kids Hack at the Google Developer Group PH HackFair

What a privilege it was for us to be part of the first HackFair in the country yesterday, December 19. Despite the rainy weather, the exhibit hall at the Mind Museum was full of exhibitors and attendees, and we were just thrilled to share more about Good Code. We intended to teach a module on basic JavaScript with fun Star Wars illustrations to kids aged 8-14, however there weren’t enough attendees for us to actually do a proper class. Instead, the class became a quick walkthrough on the Hour of Code program and how each person, in his/her own little way, can actually teach a child about coding.

We are thrilled to seize opportunities like this because we believe that someone who even has little knowledge on coding logic can teach anyone who would like to code. The Internet can always be an awesome source of answers and guides for any question one may have.

If you’d like to know more about basic coding or how to approach teaching children about code, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. :)

#HourOfCode2015, our first class

We had a relaxed first session with a small group for our Code Basics class at Bitspace on December 12, 2015. Together with the rest of the world, we held a class using a Codecademy JavaScript module in celebration of Hour of Code. Good Code's developer head Carl Flor led the class. View the full photoset (taken by Glen Lopez of Current PH) here.

Huge thanks to GDG Philippines for the support. Stay tuned for more classes in 2016! :)
