Week 1
Lesson 1
Dancing Alone
In this introductory lesson, coders create a silly dance for Scratch Cat using motion blocks. The purpose of this lesson is to introduce young coders to creating algorithmic sequences in ScratchJr.
 Week 2
Lesson 2
Can't Stop Dancing
Coders use the repeat block to repeat a silly dance for Scratch Cat using motion blocks. The purpose of this project is to introduce young coders to repeating algorithmic sequences in ScratchJr.
 Week 3
Lesson 3
Dance Party
Coders use the start on green flag block to create a silly dance party using motion blocks. The purpose of this project is to introduce young coders to adding sprites in code and triggering algorithms with the green flag in ScratchJr.
 Week 4
Lesson 4
Starry Night
Coders learn how to use repeat forever blocks with loops and control blocks to create a simulated environment. The purpose of this project is to introduce new blocks and block combinations that are triggered by the green flag.
 Week 5
Lesson 5
Under the Sea
Coders review how to use repeat forever blocks with looks and control blocks to create a different simulated environment. The purpose of this project is to continue applying understanding from the previous project to trigger new blocks and block combinations with the green flag.
 Week 6
Lesson 6
Fidget Spinner
Coders create their own fidget spinner sprite using the paint editor and motion blocks to animate their fidget spinner when they press the start on tap trigger. The purpose of this project is to introduce coders to create their own sprites and the start on tap trigger.
 Week 7
Lesson 7
Outer Space
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create their own interactive diorama on outer space. The purpose of this project is to continue applying understanding from previous projects.
 Week 8
Lesson 8
Animal House
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create their own interactive diorama about animals on a farm. The purpose of this project is to introduce coders to the sound blocks.
 Week 9
Lesson 9
Musical Instrument
Coders will trigger sound blocks to play a musical instrument made out of different sprites. The purpose of this project is to review creating sprites and triggering sound blocks when a sprite is tapped. Another purpose of this project is to also introduce remixing.
 Week 10
Lesson 10
Randomized Synthesis Project
Coders storyboard projects based on the randomized idea(s) and create a project based on their storyboard. The purpose of this project is to synthesize understandings into a project with up to three randomized ideas. This final project will be comprehensive of all the skills acquired through our previous lessons. Students will be able to share their projects with each other.
 Week 11
Lesson 11
Randomized Synthesis Project 2
Coders storyboard projects based on the randomized idea(s) and create a project based on their storyboard. The purpose of this project is to synthesize understandings into a project with up to three randomized ideas. This final project will be comprehensive of all the skills acquired through our previous lessons. Students will be able to share their projects with each other.
 Week 12
Lesson 12
Randomized Synthesis Project 3
Coders storyboard projects based on the randomized idea(s) and create a project based on their storyboard. The purpose of this project is to synthesize understandings into a project with up to three randomized ideas. This final project will be comprehensive of all the skills acquired through our previous lessons. Students will be able to share their projects with each other.
