Course contents

In the land of Smartoria, a magical journey of coding with Zina guides her wizard mentor, Mr. Byte, as pupils plunge deep into coding. Students also learn to sequence blocks-building simple scripts and loops-with the help of beginner-friendly Scratch Jr. lessons by Programming Whiz Kids. Guided by Mr. Byte, Zina and friends bring code to life, fun scene design, feeding of pet monsters, enchanted land explorations, and reaching for the finish line. Every lesson sparks it, the dream, wonder-filled creativity in young minds sets them off as whizzes in coding to an adventure called Smartoria!

In search of the Lost Kingdom of Smartoria

Zina's journey of discovery into coding starts in the Land of Smartoria, where she meets a wise wizard named Mr. Byte. Together, they take the mystery out of programming: Zina learns how to sequence events in order to bring her code to life later. A little later, it covers Scratch Jr., where the student masters the use of Motion blocks that make the characters turn, move, rotate and jump. Finally, Zina constructs a magical and animated scene which will be the setting for her journey.

Steps of Discovery: Counting Up with Code

On the other hand, Zina accepts Mr. Byte's Counting Challenge, in which she helps different magical animals reach their destinations one by one, coding to be as precise as possible at every step. She solves the puzzles of cat characters, dog characters and horse characters among others, adding or deleting steps with Motion blocks to get from point A to various alternative points B. Will she pull this off to earn the praise of Mr. Byte?

The Hungry Monster Challenge

In Smartoria's magical world, Zina plays a game where the player feeds a pet monster. With the guidance of Mr. Byte, she learns to make characters talk, grow, and even blink to get the users' attention. Enriching it with her coding skills, she adds food that moves into the monster once clicked, making the game more alive and fun. Of what strange food does the monster like most?

The Land of Mystical and Hidden Wonders

Zina and Mr. Byte visited some enchanted land of secrets, which was waiting to be opened. Flowers grew with every one of her touches to any point; suns started spinning, and even dragons began to leap. At the same time, there was speed controlled by Zina in animation and used to animate a marvelous world brightly. Mr. Byte was glad because he saw Zina finding the wonders of that mystical land.

The Great Race of Smartoria

Zina codes an exciting race for the characters of Smartoria! Players must predict who will win and, if they choose right, the victor does a celebratory dance. Cheered on by Mr. Byte to new levels of coding heights, Zina truly builds a thrilling race to be enjoyed by all. Who will claim victory?

Zina takes the stage: The Grand Performance of Coding

It is time to show the masterpieces to Smartoria's citizens. With the help of Mr. Byte, she invites some friends to play her racing game and give some feedback. Summing it all up, Zina shared her code and analyzed what went wrong, turning into a real genius of programming in Smartoria!
