The ULTIMATE ScratchJr Superhero Coding Course for Beginners

Welcome to the most exciting way to learn programming! This free collection of ScratchJr video tutorials teaches children aged 5-8 how to build fully functional superhero games and interactive stories. We’ve broken down complex coding concepts into simple, step-by-step follow-along lessons that are perfect for kids who are new to computer science.

Using the visual block-based programming of the ScratchJr app, your child will quickly grasp the fundamentals of coding, including:

• Motion: Making characters (sprites) fly, run, and jump.
• Triggers: Starting an action by tapping, bumping, or pressing the green flag.
• Sequencing & Loops: Programming an action to repeat (like Black Panther’s endless run).
• Interaction: Making one hero (like Captain America) send a message to another.
