Coding – Intermediate Level 1

Course Overview

This comprehensive 12-month course is tailored for students aged 11 to 14, aiming to bridge the gap between foundational and advanced coding and ICT skills. Designed to enhance problem-solving, critical thinking, and digital literacy, this program equips students with the knowledge and tools to navigate the ever-evolving technological landscape confidently.

Course Objectives

  • Foster logical thinking, creativity, problem-solving skills and digital citizenship skills.
  • Introduce intermediate concepts of ICT and Software Development.
  • Teach coding using age-appropriate programming languages and tools.
  • Conduct regular assessments to monitor progress and provide feedback.
  • Culminate with a final project that demonstrates mastery of coding concepts

Class Structure

The course is divided into four levels (Intermediate Level 1, Intermediate Level 2, Intermediate Level 3, Intermediate Level 4), each progressively building upon the previous one. Every level runs for 12 months, ensuring in-depth learning and ample practice time. Classes are held for 1 hour each, incorporating interactive teaching sessions, coding exercises, and project work to make learning both educational and fun.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completing the full course, students will:

  • Design algorithms and represent them through flowcharts and pseudocode.
  • Create simple games, applications, and problem-solving projects.
  • Utilize application software and productivity tools for creating documents, spreadsheets, and presentations
  • Develop functional and visually appealing web pages using HTML and CSS.
  • Exhibit ethical behavior and responsibility in digital environments.
  • Design and implement a final project that demonstrates integration of coding and ICT skills.

Course Benefits

  • Develops Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking: This course teaches students how to analyze problems and develop structured solutions using coding and ICT tools.
  • Improve Collaboration and Communication: Students will work effectively in teams to plan and execute group projects. They will present projects and articulate learning outcomes with clarity and confidence.
  • Readiness for Advanced Topics: The students get the chance to develop foundational knowledge and skills that prepare them for advanced coding, ICT, and emerging technologies.
  • Develops Curiosity: These courses are designed to spark curiosity and willingness to explore further learning in technology and innovation.

Assessments & Evaluation

Throughout the course, we will conduct regular assessments to ensure students are progressing and mastering the content at each level. To be eligible for the tests mentioned below, the child must maintain at least 80% attendance on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis.

  • Term Tests: Four term tests will be administered throughout each 12-month level to evaluate the overall progress and readiness to move forward.
  • Final Project Evaluation: At the end of each level, students will present a final project that demonstrates their ability to apply coding skills to real-world problems. This project serves as a capstone for each level and prepares students for more advanced coding challenges.
