Course Description
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:
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.
Additional Info for Parents:
Students Ages 7-11 receive our Beginner Coding with Scratch program, which is more technical and appropriate for our older coders. Coding (and STEM, in general) takes practice!
Each of the four levels listed above are designed to require 12-15 hours of lessons.
Waitlist
If the course is full, please join the Waitlist. We use the Waitlist to gauge interest in our programs and, if necessary, add additional classes or run the program again next Semester. There is no charge to be on the Waitlist; but if for some reason we are not able to accommodate everyone, you will, of course, receive a full refund.
Refund Policy
If your Student tries and really doesn't our programs, just let us know after the first class and we will refund you completely. This will allow us to offer the program to Families on the Waitlist.
Payment Plan
For those who prefer it, a Payment Plan is offered at check-out on the following screen. This plan is optional and is administered by an outside company that charges a nominal fee.
