This course will show you how you can use Scratch to create an animation. Minimal prior experience is needed. Animation has moved way beyond just television cartoons and motion pictures. Animators now have opportunities to work in video game design, special effects, web animation, in addition to opportunities in traditional film animation. Animators create characters, scenery, or background design using a variety of computer software to do so. Making animations: How to use your own art, paper or pixel Record your story Putting this together to create the animation Exporting your animation to Youtube or other platforms Learners will learn skills that last a lifetime! 💭 LOGICAL THINKING 🔍 PROBLEM SOLVING 🤔 DESIGN THINKING 📈 PRESENTATION SKILLS This is not a beginner Scratch Class; knowledge of using Sprites, costumes, events, loops, and backdrops is necessary.

Supply List
Learners will need access to Outschool Zoom through the "enter classroom" link and obtain a free login to Scratch at scratch.mit.edu. No other materials are needed. Ability to have two windows open to code and follow code is important. Alternately, some learners choose to follow Outschool on a tablet and code on their computer or laptop. If you are using a tablet or iPad to code, you will need a second device (phone, laptop, computer, 2nd tablet) in order to view Outschool. Learners will need access to a scanner if they are creating artwork on paper. If you would like to save your project, please create an account for Scratch at scratch.mit.edu before the session.

With 12 years of Scratch coding experience with learners from K-12, I am enthusiastic about learners coding as a basic literacy in the digital age. I teach multimedia with a University and I have been fortunate to attend workshops and professional development in many areas of technology. Being able to tell a story from start to finish helps learners to be able to work with and understand the technology around them. Coding at a prepares learners for the future and helps in areas of communication, creativity, math, writing, and confidence. Reviews
