All learners welcome as we will code an animated card in Scratch. Perfect for Mother's Day,  Father’s Day, holidays, birthdays,  or simply a way to say I'm thinking of you! 

Learners will be guided on how to select their own sprites to animate and use graphic effects.  Some projects may include sound effects and music.  This particular class does not instruct how to create games but I offer other classes. Learners completely new to Scratch may benefit from having an adult nearby to assist as needed. 

A computer desktop or laptop is preferred for coding. Tablets and iPads don't always work properly with some of the games on Scratch. The device used for coding must have a keyboard. It is preferred that learners screen share from the device that they are accessing Scratch using Outschool Zoom screen share. Screen sharing this way allows me to see their code as they are working. I can annotate directly on their screen. 

Students need to create a free, online Scratch account before meeting. A parent will need to confirm this account for the learner to be able to save their project.
