Week 1Lesson 1Ice Cream ShopThese lessons will walk you through building a game that takes place in an ice cream shop. In this game, customers keep coming in, and the user needs to fill their orders using the requested cone, ice cream flavor, and topping. When the order is filled correctly, points are added to the score. More points are added to the score the faster the order is filled.Week 2Lesson 2Ice Cream Shop Part 2Please see below for a list of Scratch skills covered: Variables Random numbers (‘pick random’ block) Coordinating the actions of multiple sprites using the ‘broadcast’ and ‘when I receive’ blocks Conditional statements Event handling (the ‘when key pressed’ block) Looping Boolean logic (the ‘and’ block)Week 3Lesson 3Ice Cream Shop Part 3Please see below for a list of Scratch skills covered: Variables Random numbers (‘pick random’ block) Coordinating the actions of multiple sprites using the ‘broadcast’ and ‘when I receive’ blocks Conditional statements Event handling (the ‘when key pressed’ block) Looping Boolean logic (the ‘and’ block)Week 4Lesson 4Scavenger HuntThese lessons will walk you through building an RPG or role-playing game.

In this version of the game, the computer serves as a judge, evaluating the game as you play along with a friend. Although ‘Tic-Tac-Toe’ is very simple for humans to play, teaching it to a computer is a whole different story. We’ll be using both lists and custom blocks to build this project; this course can be used as a great introduction to both of these topics.Week 8Lesson 8Tic-Tac-Toe Part 2Please see below for a list of advanced Scratch skills covered: Variables Lists (arrays) Custom blocks Random numbers (‘pick random’ block) Conditional statements (‘if’ & ‘if-else’ blocks) Looping Event handling (the ‘when sprite clicked’ block) Coordinating the actions of multiple sprites using the ‘broadcast’ and ‘when I receive’ blocks Boolean logic (the ‘and’ & ‘not’ blocks)Week 9Lesson 9Tic-Tac-Toe Part 3Please see below for a list of advanced Scratch skills covered: Variables Lists (arrays) Custom blocks Random numbers (‘pick random’ block) Conditional statements (‘if’ & ‘if-else’ blocks) Looping Event handling (the ‘when sprite clicked’ block) Coordinating the actions of multiple sprites using the ‘broadcast’ and ‘when I receive’ blocks Boolean logic (the ‘and’ & ‘not’ blocks)Week 10Lesson 10Tic-Tac-Toe Part 4Please see below for a list of advanced Scratch skills covered: Variables Lists (arrays) Custom blocks Random numbers (‘pick random’ block) Conditional statements (‘if’ & ‘if-else’ blocks) Looping Event handling (the ‘when sprite clicked’ block) Coordinating the actions of multiple sprites using the ‘broadcast’ and ‘when I receive’ blocks Boolean logic (the ‘and’ & ‘not’ blocks)Week 11Lesson 11Game DesignThis lesson is dedicated to students creating their own game using the skills they learned this semester.

This class is taught in English.
Develop programs with sequences and simple loops, to express ideas or address a problem. Develop plans that describe a program’s sequence of events, goals, and expected outcomes. Identify and fix errors using a systematic process. Using correct terminology, describe steps taken, and choices made during the iterative process of program development. Create several computational artifacts for practical intent, personal expression, or to address a societal issue.
Great teachers form strong relationships with their students by engaging them in the subjects they are passionate about. I have always been a logical thinker who enjoys science, math, technology, and engineering both for work and play. I worked as an engineer for companies like Frito-Lay, Anheuser-Busch, Amgen as a consultant for many years improving their systems with automation and equipment. Once I became a parent, I began teaching extra-curricular classes as a way to have more time at home, but stay involved in subjects that bring me joy. Realizing that by being warm, professional, and enthusiastic, I am able to engage students. My creative lessons and strong classroom presence help build student confidence while increasing interest in subjects that may otherwise seem intimidating.
Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
In this class, assessments will primarily consist of personal assessments conducted by the teacher through observation of students during class sessions. These assessments serve to gauge each student's understanding, progress, and engagement with the material covered. Various types of assessments, such as coding exercises, project presentations, and participation in discussions, may be offered periodically to provide a comprehensive evaluation of students' learning. Assessments will typically be conducted in class to ensure real-time feedback and interaction. While participation in assessments is highly encouraged for all students to track their development and receive tailored support, they are not mandatory. However, engaging in assessments offers valuable insights and opportunities for growth, making them a beneficial aspect of the learning experience.Grades Offered
It is strongly encouraged to have two devices. One device for Zoom (laptop, desktop computer, smartphone or tablet) and a second device for coding BEFORE CLASS, please be sure to have Scratch 3 installed on the device you will be coding with. This will save us class time if everyone is ready to go when class starts. Computer users, please download Scratch at https://scratch.mit.edu/download If a student is using a tablet/iPad, please be sure your student knows how to FIND https://scratch.mit.edu/, and LOG IN with their own username and password. This should not be shared with the class. Please remind them to keep it confidential. An external keyboard and mouse will be REQUIRED for all the functions to work properly.
Remember to keep your private information private - for example, no last names, home cities, or gaming handles shared within the classroom. Please review with your student before class. For students using Scratch at https://scratch.mit.edu/ a user account should be created by parents in order to save students' progress. In creating an account, certain personally identifying information, generally consisting of the student’s or parents' name and e-mail address, must be provided to Scratch's website operator in order to create an account. Projects are UNSHARED by default and user information is not shared within the Outschool classroom. Scratch does not make private account information available to anyone. For more information, please see Scratch's Privacy Policy located here: https://scratch.mit.edu/privacy_policy An alternative to creating an account is to download the Scratch 3 app found here: https://scratch.mit.edu/download This will save all work locally to your computer and your student will not be able to share with the online community until you decide to create an online account.
