*To meet the needs of younger coders, Building Games with Scratch will only meet for 1 class session per day. Please see that schedule below in the class description.
BEGINNER
Due to a record number of sign-ups, we have had to close registration for Building Games with Scratch (grades 3-5). We recommend students signing up for the remaining classes be in 5th grade or higher.
(Grades 3 – 5) In this workshop, your daughter will develop strategic thinking in computer science by working through challenges to build persistence and confidence. She will learn about the design process, use creativity, and learn to use block-based code (e.g. Scratch) to build a video game. To meet the needs of younger coders, this session will only meet for two class sessions.
