Computing is all about giving clear instructions, solving problems and creating clever things with a computer. On PawSteps you'll learn to think like a coder — writing step-by-step algorithms, building simple animal animations, sorting data and, just as importantly, staying safe and kind whenever you're online. Ready to get started? Let's dive in.
📋 Topics you'll cover
- Algorithms & sequencing — putting steps in the right order
- Block coding & Scratch-style projects
- Making animal animations that move
- Debugging — finding and fixing mistakes in code
- Data & sorting — organising information cleverly
- Typing & keyboard skills
- Online safety — staying smart and kind online
- Digital art — creating pictures on screen
🔗 Where to next
💡 Try this at home
- Write step-by-step 'code' to feed a pet — every tiny instruction in order, like "pick up bowl, scoop food, put bowl down". Can a grown-up follow it exactly?
- Make a set of animal cards and sort them by a rule you choose — such as number of legs, size, or where they live. That's data sorting, just like a computer does it!
- Draw a pixel animal on squared paper by colouring in whole squares. Count how many squares you used — that's how digital pictures are built.
