OVERVIEW:
This class will teach the students how to navigate the Scratch environment while also getting the opportunity to code. This includes things such as how to create new projects, where to find those projects, what the different types of code blocks are for and so on. I will be teaching on Scratch so students will be able to view my screen and follow along while interacting at the same time.

PROGRAMMING:
Students will learn how to: 
■    Navigate Scratch
■    Add sprites and backgrounds
■    Add motion to a sprite
■    Add sound to an action
■    Create an event
■    Create a simple game

EXPERIENCE:
No experience is required for this class. THIS COVERS THE VERY BASICS OF SCRATCH.
I have a degree in Computer Engineering Technology and experience working as a Software Developer.

Learning Goals

Students will improve their understanding of: 
■    Socializing
■    Scratch ecosystem & functionality
■    Basic programming concepts
