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's curriculum keeps things fresh and introduces kids to new and cool ways to practice, create, and design code with Scratch.
In this course, Junior Coding for grades K-2 and Beginner Coding for grades 3-5 are held together, but taught separately using two similar, but different coding platforms and different sets of lesson plans. If this course is full, please kindly join the Waitlist... if there is enough interest, we will work with the school to create two courses separated by grades in order to provide a more cohesive learning environment for our students. Thank you.
Junior Coding with Scratch Junior® (K-2)
NextGen SmartyPants teaches Junior Coding using the Scratch Junior® Graphical Programming Language across four increasingly challenging levels:
Each of these levels are a different course. Coding is a complex and challenging topic. Students are encouraged to register for this program multiple times and will be provided higher level lesson content each time. These may be during after-school programs, or during camps over Winter, Spring, or Summer Break. This gives Students the ability to build off previous lessons, gain practice, and establish proficiency over time.
