Intro to scratch

Grades K + 1st

For our youngest coders who have taken at least 2 semesters of Scratch Jr or have previous coding experience, Intro to Scratch is for you! But don’t let the name fool you, this class is far from rudimentary! Through the creation of games and animations, coders are introduced to essential Scratch skills such as identifying different block categories, adding new sprites and backgrounds, and understanding core blocks such as “forever,” “if,” and arrow key controls– all while building computer literacy using a mouse, a keyboard, and overall navigation.

Previous coding experience is required. Students must be able to read individual words and be comfortable using a mouse. Students must have a computer in order to code (not a tablet). It is highly 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.
