Students will need two devices. One will be used to view the class on Outschool and the other device will be needed to code. The second device must have a keyboard.

Please download the Scratch app prior to the first class at:
https://scratch.mit.edu/download

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Scratch

✅ Learners will need to open at free account the Scratch coding platform before their first class by going to Scratch.mit.edu

✅ We strongly  recommend that parents make sure that commenting in projects is turned off by going to each project and clicking the off button for comments found to the bottom right hand side of the project page. 

👨‍🚀 Our goal for this class is to teach our students basic coding skills. Although we finish 95% of our classes with a full game, sometimes this is not possible because we want to make sure that rather than rushing students to finish a game, we address their questions. Despite not finishing a game every single time, you can be rest assured that  students leave the class having gained very valuable coding skills after each and every class.  

😵‍💫 In the event that Scratch is have a grown up download the Scratch app to your computer. You will see the download option when the site is down.

If Scratch is experiencing issues, the teacher may choose to code on the Vex website at Vr.vex.com

🗒️ Parents:  Unfortunately we cannot issue a refund for missed classes as the spot has been reserved for your child. However, the recording for the class is available for your child to watch. Please keep in mind that you can pause or stop the subscription if you anticipate that your child will be missing class. If it is a last minute situation, you will have access to the class recording and your child may watch it to make up for the missed lesson.
