Coding With Scratch - For Beginners

Lesson is aimed for students reading to learn Scratch. Lessons will be taught slower to help students understand the basics of coding with Scratch.  Students should be able to read commands and follow along with teacher.  

Please note: It helps to have some coding experience.  Students new to coding or Scratch may need adult support in the beginning.    

Students will create a new project each week.

Please join class on time.  It is also beneficial to join class using a different device in order to see teacher's screen.  I recommend a PC or laptop for coding.
