Scratch Basics Video Game Coding: Let's Get Started

Projects and topics are learner-led. This multi-sensory, introductory class is best suited for absolute beginners through learners with some experience.  Lessons can be one-time or weekly ongoing. The first session could include such topics as how to select sprites, select backgrounds, change sizes, sound effects, and a brief description of the block palette. Please send me a message upon enrollment sharing your child's experience, skill levels, and a goal for our session.  Get $5 off my classes with coupon code LEWISNEW5 until Dec 31, 2026.

A computer desktop or laptop is preferred for coding. The device used for coding must have a keyboard. Mac/Windows/Chromebooks are all fine. iPads and tablets can not be used because it lacks key features. It is preferred that learners screen share from the device that they are accessing Scratch using Outschool Zoom screen share. Screen sharing this way allows me to see their code as they are working. I can annotate directly on their screen. 

Students need to create a free, online Scratch account before meeting. A parent will need to confirm this account for the learner to be able to save their project.  Please make a note of the username and password.  I will not have access to this information.
