CS First
Creates the long-term talent pool to keep
Pakistan as a competitive talent market.
Digital Safar can introduce coding, problem-solving,
and computational thinking in a fun and engaging
way.
Activities are designed to give students the
opportunity to pursue their passions through code
— whether that’s telling stories, making art,
exploring music, or something else.
Fostering cognitive development and preparing
children for future learning.
A curriculum developed by teachers and computer
Link science professionals
Many countries are integrating coding into their national curriculums,
recognizing it as a fundamental skill for the 21st century.
22
New feature: Interactive Videos
Teachers can learn on their pace
Previously, these trainings were difficult to attend
because of different schedule of teachers’. We
understand that teachers have a lot on their plate. So,
we recorded Digital Safar videos in urdu and designed
a program where teachers can learn new concepts of
internet safety and coding at their own free time. May
it be at their home or during free lessons, just with
one click they can enhance their knowledge and
ready to empower the kids!
Digital Safar videos are based on grade level so
the lessons are tailored for every class. DEMO

What is Block-Based Programming?
When you program, or code, you provide instructions for the computer to follow. Many programmers write code in text, meaning that they type it
out on the keyboard. With Scratch for CS First, you code using blocks that snap together like puzzle pieces. With Scratch for CS First, you can
program your own interactive stories, games, and animations.
