Members of Game Dev Academy and Game Dev Club begin by learning Scratch, a block based coding language. Members progress through the levels included in our “Hacker” award and once they’re a Scratch expert, they can move onto the more advanced MakeCode but continue coding using blocks which allows for an easier transition. 
Once members have completed levels 1 and 2 of our “Modder” award, they’re ready to move onto learning written coding languages such as Python and Typescript, this is covered by Game Dev Advanced!
