In this lesson, students will code a game where they try to catch falling treasures in Scratch, a block-based programming language developed at MIT. This class has been designed for students ages 6-10 with any level of coding experience - all are welcome! Students will learn: - How to think like a game designer! - How to code their character to switch costumes and follow the mouse pointer - How to use loops and cloning to create endless falling treasure - How to use sounds to enhance their game - More advanced students will use variables to track their score and code a timer The class will be highly interactive since we cap our classes at 6 students. The teacher will work with students to create a project they can be proud of while answering questions and providing support along the way. Here’s what your student can expect to do during class: - Welcome + Introductions (5 minutes) - Scratch Setup + Login (5 minutes) - Code a St. Patrick's Day - themed arcade game in Scratch!
