Description

Scratch is a free visual programming language and online community. It was designed to help kids learn how to program visually with blocks that snap together to create a group of instructions, known as scripts. These scripts control objects, known as sprites, in your projects. This is a beginner-level class for students who have no or limited experience in block-based coding.

Students will use Scratch to code their own interactive stories, animations, and games. In the process, they will learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively? — essential skills for everyone in today’s society.

 

Students will: 

  • Gain confidence using the Scratch interface
  • Explore coding concepts
  • Motions
  • Looks
  • Sounds
  • Events
  • Loops
  • Present their project during the final session
