Advanced Scratch

Grades 2nd To 4th

For coders who have previous experience with Scratch, who can work independently, and who want a more difficult challenge – this class is for you! Dive into the multi-step process of game development with Scratch 3.0. Go behind the scenes to learn what it takes to design, build, and test a game. Conditional statements, coordinate axes, and other mathematical concepts are the tools that our budding programmers use to develop their games. Along the way students define their games’ mechanics, explore the artistic side of game creation, and plan out various levels and point systems. All in preparation for the final release day!

Previous experience coding with Scratch or similar required. Students must have a computer in order to code (not a tablet). It is recommended but not required that students use one computer to code and another device (tablet, computer) to participate in the Zoom class at the same time.
