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.  

 

Junior Coding with Scratch® Junior (Grades K-2) 

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

  • Level 1 - Introduction to Coding Concepts
  • Level 2 - Cartoon Animation and Storytelling
  • Level 3 - Playground Games We Play
  • Level 4 - Designing Our Own Video Games

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 Junior 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.
