Scratch Jr. Challenge- Creating a Fall Story

This class is for beginners and learners new to coding. Students will learn to do basic coding using the app. Scratch Jr. while trying to make a fall story with a colorful tree with falling leaves.  This will be done using a PowerPoint introduction. Then, we will go to the app and break it down by exploring each function. I will break it down into simple steps by modeling it step- by- step as students follow along and create a slide. After I direct each step, students will make their own slide and share it. No experience necessary. The coding app., Scratch Jr,  should be downloaded before class. This can be done using an iPad or laptop. If you use a laptop please use this link  https://jfo8000.github.io/ScratchJr-Desktop/. If  you use an iPad you can go to the app. store and download Scratch Jr. It is a free app. This is a very hands-on class with lots of interacting.as we will walk through the coding process using Scratch Jr.

It works best if you have the app. downloaded on one device, and have another device setup to watch the lesson. However, it can be done on one device.
