Accelerated Scratch Class
Fast Paced Introductory Coding Class for Grade 5-9 - Build games, Stories, and Animations
- Grades 5-9
- 2-5 students group class
- 55 minutes per session
- Live online class
Studies have shown that middle school students who are new to coding do better by starting from blocked based coding like Scratch. This compressed series of classes introduce students to all the key coding concepts in Scratch (a coding tool developed by MIT) in just 8 sessions, and ready them to more advanced computer science courses.
Unlike many coding classes where kids are handed a sheet of paper and asked to follow instructions, with our small class, interactive setting, and inquiry based teaching style, teachers lead kids who are taking early steps in coding through an enlightening process of creating, critical thinking, problem solving, and mastering computational thinking skills. Experience it and see the differences!
- Accelerated Scratch - Intro to Coding for Middle Schoolers (Free)
- In this free Scratch coding class, your child will learn how to use Scratch, practice core coding concepts, and build an impressive project in just under an hour. It's great for both middle schoolers and high schoolers. You'll see their confidence and interest in coding soar!
- Part 1 - Accelerated Scratch 1
This class covers most of the foundational computer science and coding concepts Scratch has, such as loops, conditional, variables, and sensing. Students deliver a project in each session ranging from animations and games to graphic designs and storytelling. Students will be challenged to be creative and solve tough problems, while learning deeper computer science concepts.
- Part 2 - Accelerated Scratch 2
In this part II of the Accelerated Scratch coding series, we cover the more advanced coding concepts in Scratch, such as functions and lists, while continuing to explore cool features Scratch has to offer such as cloning. Students will work on a new relatively complex projects in each session including animations, games, and storytelling. As with all of our classes, there is lots of focus placed on creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, and fun!
- Part 3 - Accelerated Scratch 3 (Advanced)
During the culminating class of the Accelerated Scratch coding series, you will combine all of the coding concepts and Scratch features you've learned into building very complex, advanced Scratch projects. Students will practice implementing all the tools from Accelerated Scratch 1 & 2, and have the option to build their very own unique game with guidance from the instructor.
