In this 4-week course, students will be introduced to the common code blocks in Scratch. They will learn a variety of computational concepts that will help them develop as logical and creative thinkers. They will learn about movement, sprites, communication, and storytelling to create interactive stories and animations.
We will cover the following topics:
Week 1 Scratch Tour + Motion: Students will learn about the Scratch interface and walk through the various elements used to build their programs. We will focus on motion and they will build a program that incorporates movement.
Week 2 Animated Effects: Students learn how to create animated effects with costume sprites.
Week 3 Play Ball: Students will learn about sound, speech and thought bubbles and how to use this as a communication tool to incorporate into a small game.
Week 4 The Crazy Bird: Students will use storytelling to create a animated crazy bird story using the stage script editor, broadcasting and backdrops.Learning Goals
By the end of this course, the student should have a good grasp of programming concepts and how to use them to design and create projects.
They will...
• Learn programming vocabulary
• Learn how to use code blocks
• Learn about sprites, movement, communication and effects
• Create interactive stories and animationsOther Details
Supply List
An internet connection and laptop or desktop computer are required to complete the projects. Students will be given a link at the beginning of the first class and we will walk through setting up their free Scratch account. As we walk through the setup, if the student is not familiar with how to navigate around a browser such as Chrome or Internet Explorer, it is suggested that a parent be present to assist if needed.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Juanita Dailey. I am super excited to now be an Outschool teacher!!! The types of classes I am looking to teach will revolve around technology such as programming, creating videos, and Zumba fitness classes.
I have a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Information Management with a concentration in Systems Programming. I also have an MBA with a concentration in Project Management. I have a teaching certificate in ESL and also have various Zumba fitness certifications.
I have over 15 years of teaching experience at the university level and with kids ranging in ages 4 - 12 years old. I also have over 15 years of experience as a Systems Analyst, Software Engineer and Web Designer. I've taught programming classes, ESL and Zumba Fitness.
I love the tech side of things, playing around with creating videos and fitness! My teaching philosophy is that learning should be fun. When learning is fun, this makes it easier for the student to learn and to cultivate a love of learning. I can't wait to be apart of your child's learning experience to help them develop their creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. We're going to have a blast!
Something fun about me is that I love adventure so sometimes you may find me out paragliding or white water rafting for outdoor activities. Indoors, I enjoy playing my arcade games such as Ms. Pacman and putting my ball on our indoor putting green.
