Students will be able to create their outlines, scripts, and characters and begin the process of storyboarding complete animation sequences in future projects.

Hardware: Students will need two devices. One will be used to view the class on Outschool (can be a phone) and the other device will be needed to code. The second device must have a keyboard. Software: Scratch (in browser with account or free desktop download) Students are encouraged to create a Scratch browser account (https://scratch.mit.edu) beforehand or download the desktop version and get comfortable with locating and opening the program to get ready for the first class. It is recommended that students create a folder for saving projects onto their computers or thumbdrives for use as a "backup" instead of saving projects online only.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Parental permission is required to create Scratch accounts for children under 13.
