Scratch! 継続中のコーディング クラス! コンピューター サイエンスで毎週新しいコード!

In this ongoing class, students will learn a new element of coding each week using the website, Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu/)! Students will learn quick and simple codes, like animating your name, making a character jump, coding a bat flying across the screen, and more! The possibilities are endless.

This class is designed for students that are familiar with coding, but still want to learn some basic commands to create a fun and exciting animation or game! This class does not require a Scratch login, but if you sign in, that's ok. Since this is an ongoing class, students will be working with a blank slate each week. We are not building on the current week, so we are leaving no one behind. :) 


Week of November 28: Animate Your Name! This first week we will learn how to make our name come to life! We can make our name move, get bigger, then smaller... Anything you can think of!
Week of December 5: Glide Around. This week we will work with animals that know how to fly. You can even make your character fly, if you want. 
Week of December 12: Animate a Character. Make your character come to life by having it dance around or run!
Week of December 19: Change character size and costume. Who says an elephant has to be bigger than a dog? You make the rules on the size of your creatures. 
**No class on December 21, 2022**
Week of January 2: Make flying objects/animals fly. Code your sprites to fly off into the sunset or code your character throwing a bowl of pasta across the room.
Week of January 9: Make Music. Have you ever wanted to play an instrument? This week we will be learning how to code our own music.
Week of January 16: Let's play a MAGIC TRICK! Make your sprite disappear!


Let's start coding!

It is imperative that students work with two devices: one for watching my computer to show them how to code and one for coding on their own. It is very difficult and almost impossible to code on the same screen as the class. A tablet works best for watching my screen and a desktop works best to create the game, but both are interchangeable.
