Ongoing Scratch Coding Club: Create Your Own Games Every Week!

*PROMO CODE $10 Off First Class- BRAINFIZZ10

Welcome to the Ongoing Scratch Coding Club! Each week, students will build a brand new game using Scratch, the block-based programming platform from MIT. We'll go beyond basic tutorials, diving into game logic, storytelling, sound, animation, and debugging. Kids will have fun while learning computational thinking and building a portfolio of original games!

Students can join any week—no need to start at the beginning. Each week stands alone with a fresh project!

Week-by-Week Plan:
Week 1	🎯 Fruit Catcher	Conditionals, loops, sprite movement
Week 2	🚀 Space Dodger	Cloning, forever loops, keyboard input
Week 3	🐸 Frogger Clone	Grid movement, broadcast messages
Week 4	🧱 Brick Breaker (Paddle Game)	Ball physics, if-else statements, scoring
Week 5	🐉 Dragon Flyer (Endless Runner)	Gravity, variables, sprite animation
Week 6	🧁 Cupcake Clicker	Clicker game logic, increasing difficulty
Week 7	🧠 Memory Match Game	Lists, matching logic, hiding/showing sprites
Week 8	🕹️ Maze Escape	Collision detection, sound effects
Week 9	💥 Zombie Blaster	Shooting mechanics, clones, score tracking
Week 10	J🦸 Platform Jumper	Gravity, jumping logic, camera scrolling
