WEEK-BY-WEEK CURRICULUM
PHASE 1

FIRST BUILDS

    Cat dances, spins, changes colours. Learn sequences, loops, events.
    Scratch

    Scratch
  3. WK 3

    Scratch
PHASE 2

ART + DECISIONS

Weeks 5–8
  1. WK 5–6
    Geometric Art Machine
    Pen and nested loops draw squares, stars, spirals and mandalas. Predict the shape before you run it — and work out why a triangle turns 120°, not 60°.
    Scratch + maths
  2. WK 7–8
    Their Choice: Reaction Game
    Catch, dodge, quiz or whack-a-mole — any game where the program must decide. They design the rules; the mentor guards the logic.
    Scratch
PHASE 3

MEMORY + SYSTEMS

Weeks 9–12
  1. WK 9–10
    Catch & Score Deluxe
    Score, countdown timer, three lives, and speed that climbs as you get better. Variables plus conditionals — the program now remembers.
    Scratch
  2. WK 11–12
    Two-Level Adventure
    Start screen → Level 1 → Level 2 → win and lose screens, all coordinated by broadcasts. Debugging across sprites begins here.
    Scratch
PHASE 4

CLONES + SHOW DAY

Weeks 13–16
  1. WK 13–14
    Falling Sky
    One sprite becomes many. Clones spawn at random positions, each deciding for itself and cleaning itself up. Custom blocks required: their own named blocks, used at least twice.
    Scratch
  2. WK 15–16
    SHOW DAY!
    Pick the best build, fix the last bugs, make it beautiful, rehearse — then present to parents, friends and judges. Certificates. Standing ovation.
