CS202 - Introduction to Scratch for Kenya (G3-G5)
Scratch is a block-based programming method targeted at children in elementary school, used as an educational tool for coding. Cloud Classroom’s Scratch programming course teaches students beginning coding concepts to nurture their skills for other advanced languages, such as Python and Java. Starting from the basic motion blocks to the more complicated control sequences, this Scratch course covers fundamental programming ideas in a fun and engaging way. By the end of this course, students should be able to create their own games and/or storyboards to share with others.

CS308 - Basics of Web Development
In this course, students will gain a basic understanding of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript ES6 through visualized discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on coding. We will first discuss how all 3 languages work together in a website and how they interact as separate files. Then, we’ll move into learning the basics of each language, starting with syntax and then doing hands-on practice with recreating webpage elements. Throughout this, we will demonstrate how tools such as ChatGPT can generate raw code, then learn to read/understand prewritten code and add our own elements to it. We’ll spend a week briefly introducing APIs and showing the exciting possibilities for collaboration that web development offers. Finally, students will contribute to The Cloud Classroom’s website / leave the class with code for a personalized webpage.
CS307 - Algorithm with Java
Welcome to the captivating realm of computer algorithms! In this course, we will embark on an exploratory journey into the fundamental principles of algorithms and their profound impact on our digital landscape. Our primary medium for comprehending and implementing algorithms will be the esteemed programming language, Java. Through a combination of interactive discussions, practical coding exercises, and engaging activities, we will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to design, analyze, and implement algorithms proficiently.
