Intro to Coding- Easy Beginner Coding and Animation in Scratch- FLEX- Course 1

Coding is the new literacy! Let's learn it!

In this beginner FLEX class, students will get a new video each week. They can follow along step by step to complete their weekly projects. They will also get support from the teacher and other students.

The student will learn coding and animation by creating fun interactive projects in Scratch (Scratch is a free programming language and online community where kids can create interactive stories, games, and animations.) Your learners can watch the lesson videos at their own pace whenever and wherever they want.

Students will share their Scratch files or the link to their shared projects in the classroom and receive feedback from the teacher. They will interact with each other by commenting on each other's Scratch projects in the Outschool classroom.

Your learner will get
- Prerecorded videos of the lessons
- Help from the teacher during the week within 24 hours of posting your question.
