24 Lessons

Entry Coding Pathway

24 lessons | 2.0 hours per lesson | 1 session per week | Approximately 6 months

The 24-lesson Scratch pathway is positioned as an entry-level course for children who need block coding, digital classroom habits, basic game logic, storytelling, and guided project completion in a structured weekly format.

Scratch Starter

Interface basics, sequencing, simple animation, and confident first project building

Game Creator Basics

Events, loops, movement logic, score ideas, and beginner interactive game design

Creative Coding Builder

Storytelling, quizzes, debugging, and stronger digital presentation skills

48 Lessons

Flagship Coding Pathway

48 lessons | 2.0 hours per lesson | 1 session per week | Approximately 12 months

The 48-lesson Scratch pathway is designed for deeper project building, stronger computational thinking, better debugging discipline, richer portfolio evidence, wider digital workflow use, and more advanced presentation outcomes.

Structured Coding Development

Long-cycle coding growth, steady skill reinforcement, and project-building habits

Interactive Game Design Mastery

Deeper logic, game systems, testing routines, and stronger project independence

Scratch Portfolio & Showcase

Advanced project polish, digital portfolio output, presentation quality, and capstone readiness

Learning value comparison

Focus	24 Lessons	48 Lessons
Coding Logic Depth	Core sequencing, loops, and event handling	Extended conditionals, variables, broadcasts, clones, and stronger logic patterns
Project Complexity	Simple stories, quizzes, and beginner games	Larger multi-scene, multi-level, and feature-rich interactive projects
Debugging Discipline	Teacher-guided correction of simple errors	Repeated testing cycles, bug logging, and solution tracking
Creative Design	Basic sprite changes and scene personalisation	More deliberate game design, storytelling structure, and user-experience choices
Portfolio Value	A small set of guided sample projects	A broader portfolio with clearer progression and stronger showcase evidence
Communication Skills	Simple explanation of what a project does	More confident explanation of code purpose, decisions, and project features
Digital Workflow	Basic saving and file submission routines	Stronger organisation across folders, screenshots, slides, reflection logs, and revision records
Capstone Quality	Final beginner showcase	Final polished showcase with stronger originality, quality control, and reflection

Recommendation

Choose the 24-lesson course for a structured beginner Scratch pathway with lower total cost, clear weekly routine, manageable project scope, and confident first project completion. Choose the 48-lesson course for stronger long-term coding growth, richer portfolio value, deeper digital literacy, better debugging discipline, and flagship premium positioning for BLU3CUB3.
