Does my child need ScratchJr first?
No. A beginner who is comfortable reading and using a computer can start directly with Scratch.
Can an older beginner take Scratch?
Yes. The suggested age range is a starting guide. Project complexity can be adjusted for an older learner.
When should a child move to Python?
A child can explore Python when they understand basic coding logic and are comfortable typing and reading short instructions. The mentor can discuss readiness during the trial.
