Game design and coding, advanced level- 3th-6th graders | Finno skola

At the advanced level of game design and coding, we code games using Scratch and JavaScript programming. We work together on a game idea under the instruction of a teacher, but everyone will create a unique game of their own! The advanced level is suitable for those who have practiced coding at a coding course or independently. Registration for hobby groups will open on Thursday 27 August. Hobby groups will start in week 37, on Monday, 7 September 2026 onwards. The hobby groups will meet weekly throughout the school year unless otherwise stated. The hobby groups do not meet during school holidays. The hobbies are free of charge for the participants. The City of Espoo has insured the hobby group participants. Everyone is welcome to hobby groups regardless of their language skills, functional capacity or past hobbies. Support for participation is available. When registering, please notify any support needs your child might have or if there is anything else of note, so that the hobby organiser can take it into account in their activities and make participating easier. The organiser of the hobby group contacts the guardians about the practical arrangements for the hobby. Please contact the hobby organiser if you want to cancel your child’s participation or if you have questions about the hobby. It is possible to try out the hobby groups before signing up. The Espoo Hobby Path offers free hobbies according to children’s and young people’s wishes. The activities are for pupils in grades 3–9 and take place after school days at school premises, near the school or via remote connection. The Espoo Hobby Path implements the national Finnish Model for Leisure Activities in Espoo. The principles of a safer space are applied in the hobby groups.
