Advanced Coding With Scratch

Grades 5th To 7th

For experienced coders only, Launch’s advanced Scratch class is an environment created to push young coders to the upper limits of logic and creativity. Students partake in an independent study style course while being monitored, guided, and challenged by an advanced Scratch instructor. Building upon their projects throughout the semester, the end product is published on MIT’s website for the community to view, comment and download!

Additional Topics Include: Advanced Sequencing, Variables, Conditional Logic, Loops and Nested Loops, Custom Blocks, Event Broadcasting, Parallel Programming, Game Mechanics, Scoring Systems, Timers and Counters, Collision Detection, Debugging Strategies, Code Optimization, Project Planning and Design

Extensive previous experience coding with Scratch or similar required. Students must have taken Launch’s Coding With Scratch class or similar, or provide proof of proficiency.
