Structured Coding Levels for Future-Ready Kids

At Geckodes, our focus is on helping kids build strong computer science fundamentals through engaging, age-appropriate activities. Our beginner-friendly course is designed to introduce young learners to the basics of how technology works while strengthening their confidence, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

As we continue to grow, we’ll be expanding our program with additional levels for the April–June term. These upcoming levels will build on the beginner course, offering students a clear and enjoyable path to advance their coding skills and deepen their understanding of the world of technology.

Level 1: Introduction to Computer Science

This 10-week course includes 20 instructor-led coding sessions, held every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00–7:00 PM. The program covers core computer science fundamentals through hands-on lessons designed to build problem-solving, creativity, and digital literacy skills.

Students learn safe online behavior and respectful digital communication. By the end, they understand how to act responsibly and work well with others online.

Kids practice creating and following algorithms to model real-life tasks. They also explore how computers use numbers and symbols to represent information.

Students learn problem decomposition and how to sequence instructions precisely. They also describe their programming decisions using correct terminology.

Kids analyze and fix errors in step-by-step instructions while learning to break problems into smaller parts. They also identify basic hardware and software issues using proper vocabulary.

Students practice modeling data with symbols and breaking challenges into clear sequences. The lesson strengthens logical thinking and structured planning.

Kids create digital art using loops and sequences, reinforcing how programs store and manipulate data. They learn to debug algorithms and refine their creative code.

Students are introduced to loops and sequences with interactive activities and games. They practice detecting patterns and problem solving.

Students develop programs using simple loops and sequences. They strengthen their ability to decompose problems and debug code.

Kids learn how loops make programs efficient and expressive. They also practice debugging and breaking challenges into precise steps.

Students use loops to automate tasks and improve code structure. They learn to detect and fix errors while sequencing instructions accurately.

Kids create a custom coding project using loops, sequences, and data representation. They also learn to give proper credit when using others’ creative work.

Students are introduced to event-based programming with interactive games. They learn to plan and think logically about how programs respond to user actions.

Students explore event-based programming and break tasks into sequenced instructions. They strengthen logic by modeling how programs respond to actions.

Kids design a simple game by sequencing instructions and breaking down problems. They also choose and operate appropriate software tools to create their game.

Students build a chase-style game while practicing decomposition and data modeling. They learn responsible digital creation by giving attribution properly.

Kids learn to store, retrieve, and modify data on a computer. They interpret patterns in charts and graphs to make predictions using visualized data.

Students collect and present data in multiple visual formats. They also categorize objects and compare counts to build math and data-analysis skills.

Kids explore binary representation by turning letters into coded patterns. They also learn basic hardware terminology to understand how computers store information.

Students build on prior lessons to plan and design what their final program will be. They are features to decide the theme and features, they begin creating their project using sequences and loops.

Students plan, design, and build a final program using sequences and loops. They document their choices, give attribution, and use software tools to bring their project to life.
