Class Experience

This class is best suited for students who have taken my "Introductory to Coding: Let's Use Scratch"  course or have taken one from another organization. Students must be familiar with Scratch. This class will be more intermediate. If your child is looking at a course that will go at a slower pace. I recommend taking the FLEX version of this course.
----------------------------
This class is very interactive and focuses on project based learning. This class promotes creativity and innovation. Students will have many opportunities to ask questions when needed. 
----------------------------
Day 1: A teacher guided tutorial on how to make a Christmas e-card.

Day 2: A teacher guided tutorial on how to make a snowman game. 

Day 3: A teacher guided tutorial on how to catch all the presents from Grinch. 

Day 4: A teacher guided tutorial on how to make a gingerbread game. 

----------------------------

1. Students will be required to have a desktop computer or a laptop to take this class in order to code on Scratch 3.0. Students should not be using tablets or iPad's.
2. Some Chromebooks do not have access to all the blocks on Scratch 3.0. I recommend checking if it does before signing up for the class.
3. Students are required to have a keyboard during class, this will help them code.
5. Students may take the class with one device but they will need to have two screens opened at the same time. 
6. Students are required to have an account with Scratch. This will help them save their projects. The website is: https://scratch.mit.edu/
