Class Experience

Beginner Level
  • Fundamental Coding Concepts: Introduction to coding logic and principles. Handling events and user inputs. Using loops and conditionals to control program flow.
  • Game Development Basics: Creating interactive games with sprites and backgrounds. Implementing game mechanics such as movement, collision detection, and scoring. Designing engaging gameplay experiences through simple animations and interactions.
  • Project-Based Learning: Building projects from scratch, including games and interactive stories. Iterative development and debugging of projects. Applying learned concepts to solve creative challenges and enhance projects over time.
As a dedicated educator with a passion for technology and creativity, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to teaching Scratch coding. With a background in STEM education, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to guide students through their coding journey. My hands-on experience in elementary education has allowed me to develop effective teaching strategies that cater to diverse learning styles and abilities.

Furthermore, my enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education drives me to continuously seek out new ways to engage and inspire students in coding and computational thinking. Whether it's through designing interactive projects, facilitating collaborative learning experiences, or providing personalized support, I am committed to empowering students to unleash their creativity and develop essential coding skills with Scratch.

With my background, expertise, and dedication to student success, I am confident in my ability to create a positive and enriching learning environment where students can thrive and excel in Scratch coding.

How It Works: Experience Points (EXP): Each day, you’ll earn experience points by completing projects and participating in coding challenges. Daily Recognition: Based on the EXP you accumulate, you’ll receive: Badge: Earn a badge symbolizing your daily achievement in mastering new coding skills. Certificate: Receive a certificate recognizing your progress and dedication in becoming a coding wizard!
This camp is perfect for beginners who are new to Scratch. If you're curious about coding and ready to start your journey, this is the place to be!
It is preferable and highly recommended to have 2 screens. If that is not possible, a working knowledge of how to navigate from one window to another will be sufficient.

As a parent, I encourage you to support and supervise your child's exploration of Scratch coding. In addition to coding, your child may also need to search Google for images to download and upload to Scratch projects. While this can be an enriching part of the creative process, it's important to guide your child in using safe and appropriate images. I recommend discussing the importance of respecting copyright laws and selecting images that are suitable for their projects.

Furthermore, your child may also explore using background remover tools online to remove backgrounds from images and create PNG images for their projects. While these tools can enhance creativity, it's essential to ensure that your child understands how to use them safely and responsibly. I recommend supervising their use of such tools and discussing the importance of respecting privacy and using images ethically.

By actively engaging with your child and providing guidance in these areas, you can help them navigate the digital world responsibly while fostering their creativity and learning in Scratch coding.
