Description

Class Experience

No prior coding experience is needed for this class. Students should have a general understanding of how to use a computer/browser. In this 1-hour course, we will go over 
-The Scratch website (what is Scratch? How to log in, create a project, etc.), 
-Adding/Creating sprites (objects)
-Adding and changing backdrops
-Using block coding to create a simple game

Screen sharing will be used to demonstrate skills and tasks. Students will then be given the opportunity to use what has been...

Create a (free) account on the Scratch website
Laptop or desktop (Chromebooks and tablets are not compatible with Scratch 3.0)
(Optional) Some students like to have a device that they are using for the zoom meeting so that they can work on Scratch on their computer without needing to switch back and forth

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:Scratch 3.0

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Scratch is a coding community that allows students to share their projects with other users. We will be reviewing digital citizenship/safety in class, but discussing this with your child is also advised.
I will be advising the students to keep their projects private unless they have permission from their parent/guardian to publish it.
