Lesson 2: Gameplay
Objectives: -Prevent the spaceship from going on top of the mountains by giving it a consequence for crashing into a mountain -Reward the user for navigating through all 3 mountain sprites successfully, and reaching the finish line -Add ‘lives’ to our game, and give the user 3 chances to navigate through the mountains. -Make the game gradually more challenging by adding levels and programming the mountain sprites to move faster and faster as you progress through the levels
Develop programs with sequences and simple loops, to create a game. Identify and fix errors using a systematic process. Using correct terminology, describe steps taken, and choices made during the iterative process of program development. 
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 

Scratch will run in most current web browsers on desktops, laptops, and tablets. Chrome browser is ideal. Internet Explorer is NOT supported. If you encounter a WebGL error, try a different browser.
