Do your kids want to learn coding with Scratch? Scratch 3.0 is a great platform to learn coding skills. . Coding is an essential 21st century skill - It helps young people learn to think creatively. In this course, your child will create their own arcade-style video games. After class, they will have the skills to enhance the games to their likings.
Students will learn how to create games and storyboards by using Scratch 3.0.
Each week, we would focus on learning new coding knowledge.

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!Reviews
