Scratch: Game Development

Grades: 3rd - 5th (Ages: 8 - 11)

Do you love playing games and telling stories? If you do, then this course is perfect for you! Get ready to learn how to code and express your creativity. We'll be using Scratch, a fun drag-and-drop coding tool which lets you create cool games, animations, and interactive stories. In this course, you will build exciting projects like games where characters jump and run on scrolling platforms, stories where you can navigate through a maze, and even multiplayer games to play with your friends! If you're just starting out, we'll begin by learning the basics of coding games. We'll teach you how to make things happen in your games using loops, conditions, and variables. Returning students will move on to more interesting concepts like using special conditions and making functions that can do different tasks. For those who want an extra challenge, we'll explore advanced topics like game physics, working with arrays (a way to store lots of information), and even adding artificial intelligence to your games! So get ready to have a blast!

About Coding with Kids

Coding with Kids has been teaching coding enrichment classes to K-12 students, both in person and online since 2013. We provide a developmentally appropriate coding curriculum for various grade levels. We focus first on teaching coding skills concepts and introducing students to different programming languages appropriate for their age and experience level. We recognize that each child learns differently. Our curriculum allows students to advance at their own pace. Our goal is that no one is left behind and those students who need extensions have opportunities to stretch themselves beyond expectations. You can learn more at our website, which is www.codingwithkids.com.

Refund Policy

Parents can request a full refund more than 48 hours before the class is scheduled to begin.
