Scratch Starter Pack Flex - 初學者電腦科學、程式設計和程式碼

Are you brand new to Scratch? Curious about learning to code? You are in the right place!

With so many coding classes and platforms out there, it's hard to know where to start. Get started with programming in a fun and encouraging environment. Through video demonstrations, slides, and sample code, you'll learn and build confidence. Work at your own pace and share your programs with the class.

Computer science is for everyone. Scratch is a great introduction to coding and computer science concepts. Learn to create your own animations, games, and programs. Think creatively, reason, and collaborate. With Scratch, you'll practice these essential skills for everyone in today’s society.

This class uses concepts and standards from the K-12 Computer Science Framework. Weekly lessons incorporate key practices and concepts that go beyond creating games. Learn computer science vocabulary and ideas that transfer to future learning. Have fun while building thinking and problem-solving skills.

Class Interactions:
Interact on Outschool-
In the Outschool classroom, you will be able to ask questions and get help when you're stuck. Learn from teacher responses as well as input from the other learners. We will collaborate by responding to a weekly programming challenge or prompt. Learners can also suggest programming challenges or ideas for the group to try. 

Interact through Scratch Online-
Learners will receive an invitation to join a Scratch Studio just for the class. Share your programs in a safe environment.
Learners will follow one another on Scratch and will be able to experience and comment one another's programs, right in Scratch Online.
Learners will view and "Remix" coding prompts, building on the program and personalizing the code as they complete their coding challenges.
