For parents who wonder

"Isn't 6 too early?" — Honest answer

It's not about code

At this age

We don't teach syntax. We teach how to break a task into steps, predict outcomes, and fix what doesn't work. The medium is play — the skill is thinking.

MIT-grade logic

Scratch was built for this age

Scratch was created at MIT for kids 6 to 9. Visual blocks, no complex text. Kids build the same logical structures real programmers use.

Screen time with a purpose

If they're already on screens

Most kids already spend hours on YouTube. 90 guided minutes per week building things is qualitatively different — and many want it more than passive scrolling.

Algonova · Coding for kids ages 6 to 9

Digital Literacy (6–7): first digital steps

32 classes, 8 modules: computer, keyboard, files, safe internet, WPS Office, Sumopaint, and first AI tools (Craiyon, Perplexity). No prior experience needed.

Scratch (8–9): first algorithms

32 classes, 8 modules: visual block coding, loops, conditions, and events. Kids build their own video games and animations in Scratch.

Real programming concepts

Both courses teach the same logic blocks adult programmers use — algorithms, loops, conditions — through games and visual stories suited to ages 6–9.

Real projects, real portfolio

At the end of each course your child has their own games, animations, and digital creations — a portfolio they can show family and use at school.

Inside a class

What 60–90 minutes look like for kids 6 to 9

Designed for how a young child's attention actually works.

Warm-up (10 min)

An unplugged activity — physical or drawing — that introduces the day's logical concept: sequence, loop, or condition.

Mission of the day (15 min)

Today's mission: help a character reach the moon, find a lost pet, organize a party. The teacher introduces it as a story.

We build together (40–60 min)

The child works in Scratch or Digital Literacy tools, guided by the teacher. Breaks are built in.

Show and tell (10–15 min)

Each kid briefly shows what they made. Spoken expression starts here — with kindness, encouragement, and real projects.

What parents say

Results you see from the first class

Valentina used to be scared of computers and now she won't put them down. In Digital Literacy she learned to type, search the internet, and even create images with AI. The teacher was very patient and she advanced quickly.

Mateo has been in Scratch for 4 months and already built three video games on his own. Before Algonova he didn't even know how to open a folder. The free class was enough to convince us — he was hooked from day one.

What surprised me most is that Isabella doesn't feel like she's studying — she feels like she's playing and creating. She already knows concepts like loops and events, and explains them to me with a smile.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

From what age can kids start?

From age 6 with Digital Literacy. They don't need to know how to read to start — the first module uses visual games. For kids 8–9 we offer Scratch, where they learn visual coding by building their own video games.

What do they learn in Digital Literacy (ages 6–7)?

They learn to use the computer and keyboard, organize files, search the internet safely, and use tools like WPS Office and Craiyon AI. 32 classes, everything in the browser.

What do they learn in Scratch (ages 8–9)?

They build video games with visual block coding. They learn algorithms, loops, conditions, and events — without writing text-based code yet. By the end they have their first portfolio of games.

Do they need prior computer experience?

No. Both courses are for complete beginners. If your child has some experience, the free class helps us place them at the right level within the learning path.

How are the classes formatted?

Live online classes. Two formats: 1-on-1 individual sessions of 60 minutes (1–3 times per week), or a mini-group of 4 students for 90 minutes (once a week). Same teacher assigned for the whole course.

What do they need to take the classes?

A computer or tablet, internet connection, and 60 quiet minutes. No software install needed to start — we work in the browser.

Can I pause the course if we travel?

Yes. You can pause for up to 3 months without losing your spot or paid classes. Free cancellation 24 hours before and a full refund for any unused classes.
