Class Experience In this advanced class, students will use some advanced Scratch coding techniques and create a game where the learner is a chopper pilot. The learner will create a project in which they guide their helicopter avoiding a number of changing obstacles (buildings, trees and birds)! This course is geared towards the advanced coder, some previous Scratch experience is necessary. We will show how to construct the project step by step. The end result is a game that your learner will play over and over. Please note - a computer with a keyboard is necessary for this lesson

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Pennsylvania State University
Hi, my name is Dan Hartman. I have many years of experience as an elementary and middle school technology teacher (Pk-8). I have a bachelor's degree from Penn State in Computer Science and over 25years of working in the computer science world. For years I have been bringing the joy of coding into PK-8 classrooms, with my passion for teaching technology and a skill for turning learning into an adventure, I inspire young minds to explore the digital world with creativity and curiosity.
I always try to make my teaching fun; students will see me wearing different hats and wigs to liven things up. I was a kid once, too and I can relate that it can be intimidating trying to warm up to a new teacher. In my classes, we will joke a bit and have a good time. But guess what, you will learn how to code.
Last but not least, I realize that not all students pick up everything as quickly, so I try not to leave anyone hanging. I will often extend class sessions for one or a couple students. We can even zoom in at another time. My approach is that no student should leave without understanding the material.
I look forward to seeing you in my class!Reviews
