What's included
Homework
Students will be asked to extend projects and alter them to their style. We will then share projects with each other and students should leave feedback on other students projects.Class Experience
Please note this is the flex class. There are NO live meetings for this class. The material will be posted weekly and participation will be done through Outschool & Scratch. You can view the material during the week at your own convenience. FLEX classes are great for Scratch Tutorials/Classes because there is plenty of time to explain the code, finish the program, and go back in case you missed a step. So during a FLEX class you will be able to watch the whole process on how the games are made and the explanations! *** Basics: https://bit.ly/2QQUgwA LVL 2 FLEX: https://bit.ly/3svm8Dx LVL 3 FLEX: https://bit.ly/3v1DCct *** OVERVIEW: This is a 4 week project oriented course where students will be guided via video lessons that I have pre-recorded, along with optional project extensions and challenges related to the topics covered that week. I encourage everyone to attempt the optional extensions and share your code so that the group can provide feedback. Each week students will get access to: - A video detailing the step by step process on creating the project of the week and explaining the programming concepts - An extension to the project in the video. - Feedback on projects and on any questions the students have relating to the topics covered via the message board STUDENT to STUDENT INTERACTION: Since we can share projects on Scratch, students will post a link of their extended projects when they finish. Then the other students should play their altered game and leave a comment on what they think or like about the students' extensions.
