Our Curriculum

A structured 6-month coding pathway with 12 hands-on courses, built on CSTA K-12 standards for Years 5-9 learners.

Our Curriculum

Built on Global Standards

Our offline courses follow the CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards. Thadus now delivers a 6-month pathway with two courses available each month, giving students time to build real coding fluency through guided projects, repeated practice, and progressively richer creation.

The 6-Month Learning Pathway

1
Month 1 - Course 1

Computational Thinking

Students learn to break problems into steps, spot patterns, and write clear algorithms that can later become code.

2
Month 1 - Course 2

Data and Critical Thinking

Students work with tables, trends, and evidence so they can reason carefully and use data with purpose.

3
Month 2 - Course 3

Logic and Problem Solving

Students strengthen coding logic through conditions, loops, debugging, and structured multi-step solutions.

4
Month 2 - Course 4

Game Development

Students build playable games with movement, rules, goals, and interaction inside the Thadus game environment.

5
Month 3 - Course 5

App Design and Interface Logic

Students create app screens, place components, and learn how layout and interface logic shape real products.

6
Month 3 - Course 6

App Development and User Flows

Students build multi-screen app experiences with input handling, navigation, validation, and feedback.

7
Month 4 - Course 7

Simulation and Systems Modelling

Students model real systems such as queues, traffic, and resource flows using variables, rules, and change over time.

8
Month 4 - Course 8

Data Systems and Decision Dashboards

Students turn structured data into dashboards, charts, alerts, and evidence-based recommendations.

9
Month 5 - Course 9

Cybersecurity and Secure Systems

Students build secure flows using validation, permissions, password logic, and practical threat-aware design.

10
Month 5 - Course 10

Intelligent Systems and AI Logic

Students code rule-based assistants, recommenders, and decision tools that respond intelligently to user input.

11
Month 6 - Course 11

Machine Learning Foundations

Students explore labelled data, feature choice, prediction, and model improvement through age-appropriate coding tasks.

12
Month 6 - Course 12

Product Engineering Capstone

Students bring everything together to design and build a substantial final product they can showcase with pride.

The Final Stage

The Final Stage: Real Programming

After six months of guided creation in Thadus, students are well placed to transition into text-based programming such as Python or Java. They move forward with stronger logic, confidence, and a clearer understanding of how real software is designed and built.
