SCRATCH LEVELS:

Everyone on Outschool teaches Scratch differently. Our level system is different from other teachers. If this is your first class. I recommend sending us a message about the projects your child has done. We can provide recommendations on which level would be appropriate. We will try our best to place them in the correct level. It can be difficult to assess the correct level when we have not taught the child prior.
