Join this engaging and interactive Scratch Junior coding class where young students discover the foundations of computer programming through creative animation and game design. In this course, students will explore how characters move, interact, and respond to various actions using beginner-friendly visual programming blocks that make coding accessible and fun.
What Students Will Learn:
- Fundamental coding concepts, including loops, messaging, and event-driven programming logic
- How to trigger and control actions using various events such as taps, collisions, and broadcasts
- Methods for connecting multiple characters to create interactive stories and engaging gameplay
- Creative design skills by drawing, customizing, and animating their own characters and sprites
Hands-on Creative Learning:
Students will harness their imagination to design original stories, create smooth animations, and build mini-games while naturally applying math and science concepts. This class encourages creative thinking, problem-solving skills, and logical reasoning in a playful, supportive learning environment that celebrates experimentation and discovery.
This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
