Jenga Labs

Ages 8–12 · 6 weeks

Jenga Labs Juniors

A playful first step into coding. Children build games in Scratch, write their first Python with Turtle graphics, explore how AI recognises pictures, and finish with a project they present to their families.

What they'll learn

  • Understand sequences, loops, conditions and variables
  • Plan a small project and break it into steps
  • Explain in simple words what AI is and where it is used
  • Present their work with confidence

What they'll take home

  • A playable Scratch game they designed
  • Python Turtle drawings they coded themselves
  • A simple image-sorting AI experiment
  • A final project shown at the parents' showcase
