Junior Programmers

AGES 5-8

Learn to create your first programs using Scratch Jr.! Discover the power of programming! Learn what computers can do and how powerful they can be. Students will solve puzzles using a block programing language. They will build algorithms using programming fundamentals such as sequencing, conditionals, loops, functions, events and learn debugging as they create their projects. Through interactive “unplugged” activities (without a computer) students will explore computer science concepts eg. the binary number system. Students will engage in discussion and do activities with peers to understand the difference between computer software and hardware.

Fun Art With Scratch

AGES 8-12

Use your magical programming power to create art that you can share with your friends! Students will discover their inner artist! They will be introduced to the Scratch programming language to create several works of art.

Students will build algorithms using programming fundamentals such as sequencing, conditionals, loops, functions, events and learn debugging as they create their projects. Students with prior Scratch programming experience will work on more challenging projects. On the last day, students will present their final project created using the Design Thinking process.

#GAMEMAKER: PROGRAMMING WITH SCRATCH

AGES 8-12

Use your magical programming power to create games that you can share with your friends! During this class, you will be introduced to Scratch programming and build several games: multi-player, artistic creations, multi-level games, and more. If you have previous experience with Scratch, you will work on more challenging projects. On the last day, you will present a game you created using the Design Thinking process.
