What Creators students learn.

Creators is where Learndom students start to build. The tool is Scratch — a visual coding environment that lets children write programs by snapping blocks together. The mathematics underneath is real: variables, conditional logic, coordinates, geometry, basic algorithms. The interface is forgiving enough that an 8-year-old can do serious work.

• Scratch fundamentals — sprites, motion, looks, costumes, the stage.
• Variables and counters — what a variable is, how to use it to track scores, lives, time.
• Conditional logic — if-then statements, and their connection to mathematics.
• Loops — repeating actions, building patterns, animation.
• Coordinates and geometry — moving in 2D space, using x and y, drawing shapes with code.
• Designing a project — taking an idea and breaking it into the steps a computer can follow.

By the end of a term, every student has built a small Scratch project of their own design — using the concepts they have learned. The project is shared at the end-of-term Showcase, where parents are invited to watch each student demonstrate their work and explain how it works.

By the end of a term.

Creators students leave the term with a working Scratch project they built and can demonstrate. More importantly, they leave with the habit of breaking a problem down into steps a computer can follow — which is the actual skill underneath all coding.

• Can use Scratch confidently to build interactive projects from scratch.
• Understand what a variable is, why it matters, and when to use one.
• Can use loops, conditionals, and coordinates to control program behaviour.
• Can design a project from idea to working code, with help.
• Can explain how their own program works to someone who has not seen it.
• They have built and presented an original Scratch project at the term-end Showcase.
• Are ready for Builders when the time comes.
