Prerequisite: Scratch coding experience is required (L1 or L2)

In this online live course, students will learn how to code with Scratch, how to make games and solve programming problems, and have opportunity to make interactive games with Micro.bit.

Project-based Scratch and Micro.bit Coding

Lesson 1: Tron
•	Create a game where you try to move around without touching your opponent or the edge
o	Move your character with your arrow and WASD keys
o	Create a 2-player game
o	Use the pen extension to draw lines

Lesson 2: Wave Challenge
•	Create a game where you try to move around without touching any of the white edges
o	Move your character with your space key
o	Add lives to your project

Lesson 3:  Human vs Robot
•	Create a 2-player game where the player one tries to attack the robot
o	Move characters with arrow keys and your mouse
o	Allow the user to choose the backdrop they want to play in

Lesson 4:  Prime Number

Lesson/Project 5 – Dungeon Exploration. In this project, students will learn how to create your own adventure game world with multiple levels to explore, and 
■	Use conditional selection to react to key presses
■	Use variables to store a game’s state
■	Use conditional selection based on the value of a variable
■	Use lists to store data

Lesson/Project 6 – Get familiar with Micro.bit.  
Students learn to connect their Micro.bit to Scratch coding platform.
■	How to set up Micro.bit with Microbit link
■	How to make a LED Pattern
■	How to make a sound with Micro.bit
Project 6 – Jump Cat with Micro.bit.  
Students learn to make an interactive code with their Micro.bit. This project uses the micro:bit’s accelerometer to sense when it’s been shaken and makes the Scratch cat sprite jump at the same time.

Lesson/Project 7 – Scratch Painting with Micro.bit.  
Students learn to uses the micro:bit’s accelerometer to guide the pencil sprite around the screen, drawing a line as it moves.

Lesson/Project 8 – Scratch Hungry Dino with Micro.bit
Students learn to make another fun interactive game with their Micro.bit. This project is to make a wireless game controller with your micro:bit and Scratch and help feed tacos to your dinosaur!
