Let's Have Fun Coding With Scratch

This is an ongoing class. Learners will need to create an account on Scratch. Learners will get familiar with coding concepts such as conditionals, algorithms, events, and variables. Students will learn to use block coding and the Scratch coding website. Students will also learn how to upload and create sprites and backgrounds. They will learn computational thinking such as problem-solving and perseverance. 
The class will be structured with a preview of the final project. Next, I will go step by step along with the learners to create the projects. Finally, students will have some independent time to remix or make the project individualized. Finally, students will have an opportunity to share the project with the class. The material in this class does not build. Learners can join or leave at any time.
The class will run in 6-week sessions that cycle back.

Week 1: Interactive Presentation - Learners will choose objects that they like to do different actions with code blocks.
Week 2: Code a Jump Scare - Learners will code a "spooky" or "silly" object to suddenly appear with code blocks.
Week 3: Code a Character - Learners will code a character that they can change its looks with code blocks.
Week 4: Code a Catching Game - Learners will create a game where you have to catch items to score points.
Week 5: Code a Dance Party - Learners will code a character to dance to music.
Week 6: Code a Jumping Game - Learners will create a game that is similar to flappy bird where the character jumps over obstacles.
