About the course

This online training course will help you teach a coding project to students who have from no to some experience with Scratch programming. The project consists of planning and creating an interactive story. Doing the project with your students will take 8 - 12 lessons. 

From you as a teacher, no previous computer programming experience is expected. All programming is done with an easy visual programming environment - Scratch, which is free and does not require any downloads. 

In addition to enrolling in the online course, you have the opportunity to enhance your learning by participating in three engaging live webinars designed to complement the course material. If you're unable to attend the live sessions, recorded versions of the webinars will be made available to ensure that everyone can benefit from the webinar content.

Course reviews

Before I joined the teacher training program with Code School Finland I always thought that a teacher should have a computer science degree or background in order to deliver coding. But the training definitely proved the point that everyone can code, everyone can teach coding.
