Five Nights at Freddy's Scratch Coding & Animation Jumpscare Game Design Camp

This is a 3-Week Series. Students will meet 3 times, once a week.

In addition to basic computer skills like typing, opening and closing programs, saving and exporting files, and mouse maneuvering, this class requires some Scratch experience. For students who have no coding and animation background, we recommend joining Series Part 1 before proceeding to this class. Please see the link below:

In this Halloween Special FNAF class, students will learn how to create jumpscares using Five Nights at Freddy's characters in Scratch. The focus is to introduce using control blocks to cycle through backdrops and eventually create a jumpscare. Students will use more advanced animation techniques to make simple but suspenseful “spooky” animations that heighten the tension of the scene and give the players a sense of impending doom. Coupled with perfectly-timed sound effects, the game will capture the maximum “heart rate spike” interaction from the players.

Students can use what they learned throughout the course in games and animation, starting with Scratch and then later in complex programs.

Please read below for frequently-asked questions on our policies:

Mandatory Video Check-In
Video check-in is mandatory for safety purposes per Outschool policy. Students are required to have their cameras on to allow the teacher to check in and verify each learner. After check-in, students have the option of either turning off their camera or leaving it on, whatever is their preference.

Refunds & Missed Classes
All of our classes are backed by Outschool’s standard policy. To receive a full refund, parents may withdraw or stop their subscription within 24 hours of payment OR 24 hours before class starts, whichever occurs earlier. No refunds are issued if a learner misses a live meeting. Recordings are made available in each classroom and can be watched at their convenience. Students are always welcome to reach out with any questions and share their work in the classroom.

Class Recording Access
Learners must JOIN A LIVE CLASS ONCE in order to lift Outschool's safety protocol and unlock access to video recordings of class meetings. Learners who have not attended a live class but need access to the recordings must contact verification@outschool.com to apply for a lifetime verification badge.

Late/ Missed Class
All classes will begin on time as long as one learner is in the classroom. In the event that no students are in the classroom at the assigned class time, the teacher will leave a message in the classroom and exit after ten minutes of waiting per Outschool policy.

Minimum Enrollment & Class Cancellation
A minimum of two learners is required for every class to run. In the event that we have to cancel a class, parents will be notified within 24 hours of class. Learners will have the option of either transferring to a more populated section of the same class or receiving a full refund, whichever is preferred.

Technical Difficulties
In the event of class delay/ cancellations due to unforeseeable technical issues, all families will be notified and a make-up section will be posted, or a refund will be issued if a make-up class cannot be scheduled.
