Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Beginner Level
In this 8-week Scratch coding class, students will learn how to create interactive games while mastering programming basics like movement, scoring, randomness, and math calculations. We’ll cover topics such as sprite design, game mechanics, and tips for continuing their coding journey after the course.

Each week builds on the previous one, starting with Scratch fundamentals and progressing to more complex concepts through hands-on projects like the Snake, Ghost, and Penguin games. Classes are structured around live instruction, step-by-step demonstrations, and guided practice, ensuring students stay engaged and supported throughout.

My teaching style is interactive and supportive, combining short demos, live coding, and class discussions to make learning fun. Students will actively participate by coding alongside me, asking questions, and sharing their progress. There will also be time for troubleshooting and feedback to help students refine their projects.

By the end of the course, students will have created three fully functional games and gained confidence in their ability to code. They’ll also receive guidance on advanced Scratch features and how to share their creations, helping them continue their coding journey with excitement and independence.

Learning Needs
Please let us know of your learner's unique need and we will be happy to make any necessary accommodations.
Parental Guidance

Supply List
Students will need a computer with a keyboard and mouse (or trackpad) to create their games.

While not required, using two devices—one to view the class (phone, tablet, or computer) and one to work on their game (computer)—can make it easier to follow along and participate.
