Homeschool Coding Pod Elementary

This is an ongoing class where you can join at any time. Learners will need to create an account on Scratch. Learners will get familiar with coding concepts such as conditionals, algorithms, events, and variables. Students will learn to use block coding and the Scratch coding website. Students will also learn how to upload and create sprites and backgrounds. They will learn computational thinking such as problem-solving and perseverance. 
The class will be structured with a preview of the final project. Next, I will go step by step along with the learners to create the projects. Finally, students will have some independent time to remix or make the project individualized. Finally, students will have an opportunity to share the project with the class. The material in this class does not build. Learners can join or leave at any time.
