Overview
The Foundation Level introduces kids to the basics of coding through Scratch, MakeCode for Micro:bit, and HTML with EduBlocks. Students learn step-by-step coding concepts such as loops, variables, and conditionals while building projects that grow in complexity. The level emphasizes guided practice, ensuring every student understands key concepts before moving on. By the end, students will have programmed simulations, simple games, and their own basic webpage.
