Programming with Scratch for Kids | American Space, Barishal

In 2025, I joined American Space, Barishal as a Guest Teacher for a session titled Programming with Scratch for Kids, held at Jahanara Israil School and College (JISC), Barishal.

The session was designed to introduce children to the fundamentals of programming in a simple, visual, and enjoyable way using Scratch.

I conducted the session as a Guest Teacher / Instructor, guiding the participants through the basics of creative coding and helping them understand how programming logic can be used to build interactive projects.

• Introduction to Scratch programming
• Basic programming logic
• Visual block-based coding
• Creative problem-solving
• Interactive learning for children
• Encouraging curiosity in technology
• Learning coding through fun activities

The session created a fun and creative learning environment where young participants could explore programming without the complexity of traditional text-based coding.

Through Scratch, the participants were able to understand fundamental coding concepts while experimenting with animations, interactions, and simple project ideas.

It was a rewarding experience to see the enthusiasm and creativity of the participants throughout the session.

The workshop successfully encouraged young learners to engage with technology and programming in an approachable and enjoyable way, supporting the idea that children can begin developing computational thinking and problem-solving skills from an early age.
