Class Experience In this beginner class, students will create a game where the learner is a monkey. The learner will create a project in which they move the monkey with the keyboard keys to catch as many falling bananas as they can. But if they catch a falling rock, they will lose a life. This course is geared towards the beginner coder, however some previous Scratch experience is helpful. We will show how to construct the project step by step. The end result is a game that your learner will play over and over. Please note - a computer with a keyboard is necessary for this lesson

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Pennsylvania State University
Hi, my name is Dan Hartman. I have many years of experience as an elementary and middle school technology teacher (Pk-8). I have a bachelor's degree from Penn State in Computer Science and over 25years of working in the computer science world. For years I have been bringing the joy of coding into PK-8 classrooms, with my passion for teaching technology and a skill for turning learning into an adventure, I inspire young minds to explore the digital world with creativity and curiosity.
I always try to make my teaching fun; students will see me wearing different hats and wigs to liven things up. I was a kid once, too and I can relate that it can be intimidating trying to warm up to a new teacher. In my classes, we will joke a bit and have a good time. But guess what, you will learn how to code.
Last but not least, I realize that not all students pick up everything as quickly, so I try not to leave anyone hanging. I will often extend class sessions for one or a couple students. We can even zoom in at another time. My approach is that no student should leave without understanding the material.
I look forward to seeing you in my class!
