What Will You Learn?
- In this course, you will deepen your coding knowledge, building on the concepts taught in Scratch Level 1. Developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Scratch is a fun and engaging programming language that makes coding feel like a game. You’ll create your own games and applications while mastering essential programming skills. By completing this course, you’ll be ready to transition into text-based programming languages like Python. Along the way, you’ll learn to create animations, cool effects, and replicas of popular games.
Course Outline
- Lesson 1: Flappy Bird Program. Students will use loops, motion, sensing, and looks to create a sprite that navigates between moving pipes while tracking scores. They will design and clone the pipes and program their movement.
- Lesson 2: Space Rocks Program. This lesson focuses on sensing, operators, variables, and control to build a game where a rocket shoots at rocks.
- Lesson 3: Snake Game Program. Students will use control, operators, and motion to create a snake game where the snake eats food that clones itself.
- Lesson 4: Golf Game. Students will build golf equipment and use motion, sensing, and control blocks to create a golf simulation.
Requirements
- A computer (PC, Mac, or Linux).
- A web browser (preferably Chrome) and a reliable high-speed internet connection.
- No prior programming experience is necessary, though completing Scratch Level 1 is recommended.
Audience
- Kids aged 7 and older who want to further develop analytical skills through game creation.
- Complete beginners of any age who are eager to dive deeper into programming.
- Parents or teachers who want to help children develop advanced problem-solving skills.
