Coding: Intro to Scratch (Virtual)

INTRODUCTION TO SCRATCH FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE NEW TO SCRATCH CODING!

This beginner-friendly course introduces students to the world of programming through Scratch, a fun and intuitive visual coding platform developed by the MIT Media Lab. With its colorful, drag-and-drop code blocks, Scratch makes it easy for young learners to grasp the fundamentals of programming while having a blast!

Throughout the course, students will:

• Learn the basics of object-oriented programming using stackable code blocks

• Explore Scratch’s interface and master its core coding functions

• Create interactive stories, games, animations, and music-based projects

• Develop creative thinking and problem-solving skills through hands-on coding challenges

Each session is built around engaging, project-based learning—your child might animate a character, design a mini video game, or bring a story to life. While the course builds technical skills, it also nurtures imagination and self-expression.
