This is a multi-day camp. Learners will need to create an account on Scratch. Learners will get familiar with coding concepts such as conditionals, algorithms, events, and variables. Students will learn to use block coding and the Scratch coding website. Students will also learn how to upload and create sprites and backgrounds. They will learn computational thinking such as problem-solving and perseverance. The class will be structured with a preview of the final project. Next, I will go step by step along with the learners to create the projects. Finally, students will have some independent time to remix or make the project individualized. Finally, students will have an opportunity to share the project with the class. Day 1: Code a Funny Joke - Learners will code a knock-knock joke or other funny joke using code blocks. Day 2: Animate Your Name - Learners will code the letters in their name to do different actions with code blocks. Day 3: Code a Special Card - Learners will code a greeting card for a special occasion with code blocks. Day 4: Code a Virtual Pet - Learners will code a pet that they can feed and take care of with code blocks. Day 5: Code a Pong Game - Learners will create a game that is similar to Pong where the object bounces.
