SCRATCH Programming

In-person program for students grades 4-6.
Saturday 11:30 am – 1:00 pm

We would like to introduce our new Scratch Programming course, designed specifically for 4-6 grade students who are eager to dive into the world of computer science! In this course, students will be introduced to the concepts of coding through Scratch, a fun and engaging block-based visual programming language.

The goals of this class are to spark children’s interest in coding and to transform them into independent creators. By the end of the course, the students will learn enough Scratch programming to be able to independently create games and other exciting projects. Students will start by learning the Scratch programming environment and will spend the rest of the course working on animation stories, coding projects, and games. Through these carefully selected projects and exercises, students will learn important computational concepts: sequencing, loops, conditionals, operators, variables, messages, and events, lists. They will also learn essential practices: organization, modularization, testing, and debugging.

The homework is assigned after each class and is expected to be submitted weekly. The students who successfully complete these classes can proceed to take Scratch Level 2 next semester.
