Scratch Intro for 3rd Through 5th Grade

This is an introductory class exposing young learners to Scratch. Students must be able to read. No prior knowledge of coding is required.
My style of teaching is very patient, interactive, and engaging. Each student will be able to share and express themselves as they feel comfortable. Each lesson will leave them excited to create projects using the coding knowledge they acquired in class. 

In this introductory lesson, coders create a band using sound blocks. We will go over the Scratch interface and students will experiment with 8 different motion blocks and 3different trigger blocks. The purpose of this lesson is to introduce young coders to creating algorithmic sequences in Scratch.

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.

*****If using an iPad/tablet, a Bluetooth keyboard will be required for all the functions to work properly.****

Please test your devices for compatibility prior to registering for this class.
**KINDLE WILL NOT WORK**
