Beginner Coding with Scratch - Levels 1-4- Mornings @ 9AM-12PM
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 SmartyPants 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:
