3주간 스크래치로 코딩 및 애니메이션 Part 3 - 대화형 게임 디자인: Minecraft

This is a 3-Day Series.  Students will meet 3 times to complete Part 3.
Please note: Classes will meet 3 times within the same week for Summer Break & Winter Holiday weeks. 
Basic computer skills like typing, opening and closing programs, saving and exporting files, and mouse maneuvering are prerequisites. For students who have no coding and animation experience, it is required that they have completed Series Part 1 and Part 2 before they join this class. Please see links below:

Part 3 will expand upon the basic concepts of animation and block coding to get students into learning how to program basic operations in video games, as well as teach them independent problem solving skills in utilizing Scratch tools to successfully bring their ideas to life. While learning the route of game creation through design, building, testing, and learning with their favorite characters, students will garner an appreciation for the complexities behind simple game mechanics as they do simple exercises to create original interactive projects through problem solving and collaboration.

Day 1 - Platforming and Movement
Students will create their own Minecraft avatar with different frames for moving in multiple directions on a sprite used as solid ground.

Day 2 - Triggers, Variables, and Cutscenes
Students will create a character, a setting, and an object that will change when interacted with; movement controls will be halted so gameplay stops for a cutscene to play.

Day 3 - Damage and Inventory
Students will take Steve and have an enemy hit and damage him with visible effects (“hit frames” when Steve shows a visual cue that he has taken damage).

Students can use what they learn throughout the course in games and animation, starting with Scratch and then later in complex programs. Students will discover how to apply previous Scratch knowledge and basic understanding of animation to longer and more complex projects.

Please read below for frequently-asked questions on our policies:

Mandatory Video Check-In
Video check-in is mandatory for safety purposes per Outschool policy. Students are required to have their cameras on to allow the teacher to check in and verify each learner. After check-in, students have the option of either turning off their camera or leaving it on, whatever is their preference. Younger learners are highly encouraged to leave their cameras on.

Missed Classes & Refunds
All our classes are backed by the ‘Limited’ refund policy. Parents may withdraw up to a week before class starts with a full refund OR within 24 hours of purchase. In the event a learner misses a class, recordings are made available in each classroom. Students are more than welcomed to reach out for any questions and share their work in the classroom.

Late/ Missed Class
All classes will begin on time as long as one learner is in the classroom. In the event that no students are in the classroom at the assigned class time, the teacher will leave a message in the classroom and exit after ten minutes of waiting per Outschool policy.

Minimum Enrollment & Class Cancellation
A minimum of two learners is required for every class to run. In the event that we have to cancel a class, parents will be notified within 24 hours of class. Learners will have the option of either transferring to a more populated section of the same class or receiving a full refund, whichever is preferred.

Technical Difficulties
In the event of class delay/ cancellations due to unforeseeable technical issues, all families will be notified and a make-up section will be posted, or a refund will be issued if a make-up class cannot be scheduled.
