Course Description
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 SmartyPants's curriculum keeps things fresh and introduces kids to new and cool ways to practice, create, and design code with Scratch.
Beginner Coding with Scratch® (Grades 3-5)
NextGen SmartyPants teaches Beginner Coding using the Scratch Graphical Programming Language across four increasingly challenging levels:
Teachers assess Student skills and any previous Coding experience, and then adjust the curriculum provided to each child accordingly. If your
child has taken Coding with Scratch before, they will be taught at a higher level of the Coding curriculum to ensure that they are learning new material, challenged at their skill level, and gaining
practice in their Coding skills.
