In this introduction class, students will learn the basics of Scratch coding and create a simple Pong game! This course is geared towards the beginner coder, and no experience with coding is necessary!. We will show how to use the different colored blocks to make your 'sprite' move across the screen. You will learn how to make the ball move randomly across the screen and contro; the paddles to hit the ball. You will learn how to create a variable to keep score. Prepare to have fun!! **Parents, please make sure your child has signed up on the Scratch website before our class.

If you are late due to technical issues, email me and I will gladly transfer you to another class. I appreciate your understanding
