This is an online class!
For Students who have already taken the Beginning Coding with Scratch workshop and are ready to learn more advanced concepts and produce detailed, more complex creations. Students will learn programing concepts while creating fun games, activities, and stories. Most programing is done by dragging and dropping blocks with minimal typing. Many graphical characters called “sprites” are supplied along with a large variety of actions they perform. While this is a good language for beginners, it is also possible to continue learning more advanced concepts and produce detailed, more complex creations.
Instructor: Kevin Kopchynski
Monday, 2:30-4:30 pm;
Four classes: July 20, 27; August 3, 10
Watch this orientation video if you are new to Zoom: https://youtu.be/hIkCmbvAHQQ. You may download and install the Zoom application at any time. We recommend you do this after you enroll in class or at least one day prior to your first online class. Choose the download option that best fits your technology. Unless you will be using an iPad or mobile device, the first option is most likely the one you’ll need.
