Description

Registration for this course is available with the following options:

  • Full-Semester for 12-weeks, First-Half for 6-weeks, Second-Half for 6-weeks
  • 2-hour classes each week, or 1-hour classes each week

All NextGen SmartyPants Junior & Beginner-Level lessons are designed to be completed in about an hour and most families will choose the 12-weeks @ 1-hour each week class option.  From experience, many children love our programs and want to continue to stay for another hour, so we are providing these additional registration options for you. 

For Coding, this second hour is most often spent improving, refining, and expanding their code beyond the minimum.  Coding takes time and practice a ton of advanced learning happens during this second hour!  However, in order to stay with the progress of the rest of the class, a new lesson will not be started during this second hour.

Enrollment is ongoing on a rolling basis, so new kids can join in on the fun at any time!  Registrations are automatically prorated and Teachers will adjust educational content for your child.

As always, please call if we may help with questions at (860) 272-4000.

Beginner Coding with Scratch - Levels 1-4

Beginner Coding with Scratch® is a super-fun way to introduce your child to the wonders of Coding!  Drag, drop, click… you’ll be amazed at what they can do!  NextGen's curriculum keeps things fresh and introduces kids to new and cool ways to practice, create, and design with Scratch.  

NextGen SmartyPants teaches Beginner Coding using the Scratch Graphical Programming Language across four increasingly challenging levels:  

  • Level 1 - Introduction to Scratch: Sprites, Scripts, Brackdrops, Loops, and Music
  • Level 2 - Broadcasting, Decisions, and Variables
  • Level 3 - Clones, Custom Blocks, and Boolean Logic
  • Level 4 - Controlling Motors and Robotics using Scratch

Students do not need to choose a level prior to enrollment; NextGen Teachers assess experiences on the first day and group students accordingly into project teams for the entire week of camp.  Students are encouraged to re-enroll in Beginner Coding during future camps or classes in order to gain proficiency in Coding by progressing through each of these levels:
