Students will code a Halloween-themed animation. They won't just learn to code; they will code to learn. In this 60-minute creative coding class, students will become familiar with a wider range of ScratchJr programming.
ScratchJr concepts covered will be sending and receiving messages, “start on tap” and “wait” blocks, and showing/hiding characters. We will also create irregular shapes in the ScratchJr paint editor. Every time a sprite is clicked, the lantern lights up. This class is for students entering Kindergarten - 3rd grade with any level of coding experience.
In this course, students will gain a better understanding of the following concepts:

Instructor's Bio:
My specialty is that I can get the most out of my students using mainly positive reinforcement, since I started teaching, I have been primarily teaching an extracurricular activity, so the challenge was to motivate and discipline kids mainly by having a fun environment. I can turn boring projects into fun by just being silly and having fun with the students. E.g., I had to teach string manipulations the other day, which is boring, so I came up with a terrible rap about strings, the students loved it and we were all laughing and coming up with different ways to manipulate and change the raps. Another advantage I have when teaching is I am an avid gamer, so it's easy for me to relate material with the kids’ favorite games.
