Learn to Code Basic Projects with ScratchJr. - KidPass Live Stage
Learn with Teacher Sree! (Online)
About
This is a special FREE online class presented by KidPass Live Stage (https://kidp.as/live). KidPass Live Stage is a free livestream series that is open for the community and showcases many of the incredible classes and instructors on KidPass.
This course helps younger students learn ScratchJr, a block-based programming language from as early as 5 years. ScratchJr is a free programming language that is available as an app, that can be run on iPads, Android tablets, Amazon tablets, and Chromebooks. Students will be able to connect programmed blocks together to create an actual animated scene. Towards the end of this course, students can experiment with ScratchJr and can create fun games. No prior coding experience is necessary.
The project we will be doing is to make the Scratch cat get out of the bed and walk. If time permits, we will also make the cat walk and take a bus to school. We will also learn about opening the app, learning about it, the background scenes, using the characters, naming, and saving the project.
Note that as a KidPass Live Stage performance, this class and your participation may be posted on KidPass social media. Since it is formatted for a large audience, there will be limited instructor interaction. If you enjoy the class, please visit the instructor's KidPass page where you can find other class offerings and formats including small-group, interactive classes.
