Davood Ghobadi mentors the children and teens courses at Danaverse, guiding students from Scratch to their first lines of Python. Working with younger age groups has shaped his method: loops, conditionals and algorithms are taught through games and small projects so learning stays enjoyable and motivation holds.

In the Scratch course, children snap blocks together to learn sequence, loops and conditionals, and build characters, interactive animations and 2D games with scoring, without getting stuck on typing or syntax errors. Next, the Python for kids course carries the same ideas into written code: variables, functions and conditionals, drawing shapes and patterns with the Turtle module, and building simple mini-games.

Teaching moves step by step so that each session ends with a visible result. As a starting point, Scratch usually suits younger children and Python suits children who are comfortable reading and typing; the Danaverse magazine article on the best programming language for kids compares the two in detail.
