Introduction to Scratch
THIS PROGRAM IS OFFERED TO GRADES 4 – 5
January 16 – March 6, 2025 (8 lessons)
Every Thursday, 4:00pm – 5:30pm
Maximum 12 students; minimum 4 students
While the Scratch language is fairly easy to use, fun, and addictive, the language is special for two main reasons:
1. Scratch encourages kids to learn then take risks to adapt what they’ve done.
2. While not everyone wants to be a programmer, everyone benefits from projects that teach creative problem solving. The ability to imagine, create, play, and reflect are critical skills for young kids.
At the conclusion of the sessions, students compile their work to create their own game they can publish and share.
Lesson Overview
Lesson 1 : Motions and sound
Lesson 2 : Repeating action, forever loop
Lesson 3 : Creating own sprites, If statement
Lesson 4 : Variable
Lesson 5 : Creating image effects, animation
