Scratch Beginner Friendly Coding Projects Block Oriented Programming 10 week

*Please ensure your student has a Scratch account prior to class to conserve class time*

Each week this class will be walked through a beginner friendly Scratch project from start to finish
Each class period will run in a similar pattern
5-10 Minutes of intros, hellos, and getting set up
35-40 minutes of a walkthrough of the project and time for Students to work
5-10 minutes of students being able to share their projects and get advice on bugs not seen during the walkthrough

Why Scratch? 
Most traditional programming languages tend to be complicated and text-based. But not Scratch; which is a programming language built for kids. Developed by the MIT Media Lab in 2007, it is a programming environment that helps introduce the basics of coding to kids. It works as a free-ware block-based programming tool for children. Since it utilizes a visual approach, it makes coding a lot easier and simpler to understand. The best thing about it is the simplicity that it adds to learning by removing all the complicated elements of programming. No longer do children have to worry about a forgotten semicolon or misplaced bracket. It works as a perfect practice tool to help build their analytical and logical reasoning skills.
