This class will be perfect for students new to Scratch coding and want to learn the basics and be ready for intermediate and more advanced coding projects. We will start by introducing the fundamental components and concepts of Scratch coding. I will be feeding through basic math and physics and other scientific concepts along with the introduction of Scratch coding so that students will fully comprehend the coding process with more knowledge beyond just the coding interface.

Potential weekly main topic in the following weeks may include: 

Week of  March 4- Basic layout of Scratch
Week of March 11- Design a Sprite
Week of March 18- Movements
Week of March 25- Appearances

A computer desktop or laptop is preferred for coding. iPads and tablets can not be used because it lacks key features. Screen sharing will allow me to see their code as they are working. I will be able to annotate directly on their screen. 

On scratch.mit.edu Students need to create a free, online Scratch account before meeting. Students will need accounts to save their own projects.
