CODER

Coder

“I write real code in a real language”

The bridge from blocks to text. From MakeCode through Hedy to real Python — and on to Pico electronics, data analysis and a first taste of AI. Now they become someone who reads and writes code.

What they learn

What they learn

In this stage, children pick up these strengths with their hands.

Python

Graduate from blocks and write real code with variables, loops and lists.

Physical computing (Pico)

Become a maker who controls electronics with code.

Data

A “data lab” that measures the world and finds answers in data.

Building a first AI

Train images to build their own smart machine.

The Curriculum

Eight terms, deepening step by step

Each term is 11 weeks — it ends in one finished project, and in the final week children present what they made at an English Demo Day.

English at this stage

English at this stage

The language of code and the language of the class are both English. Children learn concepts like variables, loops and functions in English and present in English. Alongside their code, their English moves up to reading and writing — coding skill and English grow at the same pace.

How we handle AI

How we handle AI

AI does not write their code. Children train machine-learning models themselves, and AI is used only in a teacher-managed setting and only to “explain code I wrote.” They also learn password and account security, and that “a photo is really just a set of numbers.”

What they walk away with

What they walk away with

A Python program they wrote themselves, a device built with Pico, a first AI machine, and an Invention Studio project.
