(3/3) (For learners who have experience building small games with Scratch) https://outschool.com/classes/intermediate-coding-with-scratch-create-fun-games-with-various-sprites-33-ubIHqeTZ?refuid=7yxchTmY 🧑🏫 1-on-1 Private Scratch Coding Tutoring (No experience required, suitable for beginners or experienced learners) 🎮 Adventure with Scratch: Create Fun Games with Various Sprites! (2/3) This multi-session ongoing lesson is for learners who have completed the "Get Started with Scratch (1/3)" lesson or have a basic understanding of Scratch and feel comfortable creating and editing projects. 🚀 In this course, Dr. Victoria will guide students through 10 Scratch coding games, teaching advanced skills in events, control, and settings. Projects are independent, so learners can join any week, either weekly or for 10 sessions. 💻To join the fun, you'll need a computer, mouse, keyboard, and a web browser open to Scratch. We recommend using two screens if possible: one to watch the instructor and one to work on your Scratch project. If not, a single screen will work fine. A tablet can be used for viewing the class, but a computer is necessary for using Scratch due to the need for a mouse and keyboard. 📝 Class Structure Introduction and Overview of Game Design (minutes 0-5) Basic Coding for Game Mechanics (minutes 5-20) Creating the Game Environment (minutes 20-25) Adding and Animating Sprites (minutes 25-30) Incorporating Sound and Music (minutes 30-35) Saving and Sharing Your Game (minutes 35-40) Review and Q&A (minutes 35-40) Note: The last 5 minutes are reserved for Q&A. Students who finish early can choose to log off or stay for additional help. 🎉 Join Us for Creative Coding Adventures with the Fun Projects!

Parental Guidance
🚀 Getting Ready for Class: Parent Guidance Needed!
Before the first class, parents are encouraged to assist their child with the following steps:
Download the Scratch App: Get the app from https://scratch.mit.edu/download to ensure everything is set up properly.
Check the Project Editor: Visit https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1051810736/editor to ensure the project editor is functioning smoothly.
Create an Account: Register an account for your child so they can save and share their projects. (While students can create and edit projects without an account, they won't be able to share them. For this beginner lesson, an account is not mandatory as we will focus on independent projects each time.)
These preparations will help your child have a seamless start and make the most of their coding adventure! 😊
🔒 Safety First: We highly recommend turning off the comment feature on Scratch when sharing projects to maintain a safe and focused learning environment.
👶 For Younger Learners (ages 7 and under): Significant help might be needed to set up their computer for coding during the first few sessions. Usually, it takes 1-2 sessions for children to become more familiar with setting up Scratch and navigating the program independently.
Thanks for your support in making this a smooth and enjoyable learning experience! 😊
Pre-Requisites
