Scratch 程式設計兒童冬令營中級/高級瑪利歐平台遊戲

Is your child passionate about becoming a video game designer? If your answer is yes, then our Mario Platformer Coding Camp is the ideal playground for them! Join us for a thrilling experience where students will dive into the world of game development, learning intermediate to advanced coding skills while crafting their very own Mario-style platformer.

💻 About the Class:
Coders love Scratch platformers, and now they can bring the iconic Mario platformer (a player jumping game) to life with their own creative twists. In this dynamic camp, students will master the art of coding gravity, wall detection, functions, and broadcast blocks, all while having a blast designing and playing their custom Mario platformer games.

🌟IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Please ensure that your coder has experience on Scratch prior to signing up. This will be a very challenging class for coders with no experience. 
2. Coders MUST have experience on Scratch having taken my (or other) basic and intermediate level Scratch courses.
3. This class requires that all students have an account on Scratch with sharing ability. Please make sure that your child's account is verified prior to our first class. 
4. Students will need two devices. One will be used to view the class on Outschool and the other device will be needed to code. The second device must have a keyboard.
5. In order to keep the pace of the class, students must be on time every day. If we are too far ahead when a student enters, we may ask the student to stay as an observer and watch the video recording after class.
6. Teachers are not able to answer parent's questions via messages while teaching. Thanks for understanding.
