🎮 Scratch coding is a fantastic way for students to enhance their problem-solving skills, creativity, and logical thinking through video game creation. 🚀✨ Dr. Victoria, a professor and PhD expert, offers the following Scratch coding lessons: 1️⃣ Get Started with Scratch: Set Up for Creative Coding Fun! (1/3) 2️⃣ Adventure with Scratch: Create Fun Games with Various Sprites! (2/3) 3️⃣ Intermediate Coding with Scratch: Create Fun Games with Various Sprites! (3/3) 🧑🏫 1-on-1 Private Scratch Coding Tutoring 1️⃣ Get Started with Scratch: Set Up for Creative Coding Fun! (1/3) (For beginners to build confidence and master basic skills to create projects with Scratch coding) https://outschool.com/classes/get-started-with-scratch-set-up-for-creative-coding-fun-with-projects-13-YAMdz7t5?refuid=7yxchTmY 2️⃣ Adventure with Scratch: Create Fun Games with Various Sprites! (2/3) (For learners who have experience or skills in coding with Scratch) https://outschool.com/classes/adventure-with-scratch-create-fun-games-with-various-sprites-23-4IDEoSwM?refuid=7yxchTmY 3️⃣ Intermediate Coding with Scratch: Create Fun Games with Various Sprites! (3/3) (For learners who have experience building small games with Scratch) https://outschool.com/classes/intermediate-coding-with-scratch-create-fun-games-with-various-sprites-33-ubIHqeTZ?refuid=7yxchTmY 🧑🏫 1-on-1 Private Scratch Coding Tutoring (No experience required, suitable for beginners or experienced learners) 💻To join the fun, you'll need a computer, mouse, keyboard, and a web browser open to Scratch. We recommend using two screens if possible: one to watch the instructor and one to work on your Scratch project. If not, a single screen will work fine. A tablet can be used for viewing the class, but a computer is necessary for using Scratch due to the need for a mouse and keyboard. 📝 This class is onging. Each session will involve hands-on projects where students apply the concepts learned to create their own unique games. By 5-10 prjects, participants will have a portfolio of games showcasing their skills and creativity, ready to impress friends and family. 📝 Class Duration: 1 Hour Introduction and Warm-Up (minutes 0-5) Game Design Concept Overview (minutes 5-10) Setting Up the Project (minutes 10-15 ) Creating Advanced Sprite Interactions (minutes 15-25) Implementing Broadcasts and Custom Blocks (minutes 25-35) Adding Sound Effects and Music (minutes 35-45) Testing and Debugging (minutes 45-55) Final Touches and Review (minutes 55-60) The Last 5 Minutes: Q&A Students can log off if project is complete and no questions.

Parental Guidance
🚀 Getting Ready for Class: Parent Guidance Needed!
Before the first class, parents are encouraged to assist their child with the following steps:
Download the Scratch App: Get the app from https://scratch.mit.edu/download to ensure everything is set up properly.
Check the Project Editor: Visit https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1051810736/editor to ensure the project editor is functioning smoothly.
Create an Account: Register an account for your child so they can save and share their projects. (While students can create and edit projects without an account, they won't be able to share them. For this beginner lesson, an account is not mandatory as we will focus on independent projects each time.)
These preparations will help your child have a seamless start and make the most of their coding adventure! 😊
🔒 Safety First: We highly recommend turning off the comment feature on Scratch when sharing projects to maintain a safe and focused learning environment.
Thanks for your support in making this a smooth and enjoyable learning experience! 😊
