Coding is more fun in a group! Learn to code by creating video games and animations using the Scratch programming language. Share your creations with other kids in the class! Each week we will build a new game or animation. Students customize their games and animations by picking their own theme and characters. 2nd and 3rd Graders are welcome if accompanied by a parent / guardian. We provide each child with a laptop. Parents are welcome to bring their own laptop if they wish to code too. Please register each child attending the session. As kids gain skills and demonstrate readiness, they will be invited to join the Level 2 group. Example projects include a clicker game, virtual pet game, obstacle avoidance game, etc.
