Course Description

Scratch is a super-fun way to introduce your child to the wonders of Coding!  DragDropClick… 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.  

 

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

NextGen SmartyPants teaches Junior Coding using the Scratch Junior Graphical Programming Language.  Students learn more advanced topics over time 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

Each Level contains 12-15 weeks of lessons.  Students are encouraged to re-enroll in Junior Coding during future classes or camps in order to gain proficiency in Coding and progress through each of these levels.  NextGen Teachers adjust the content and curriculum so that each Student can pick up where they left off.

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

Each Level contains 12-15 weeks of lessons.  Students are encouraged to re-enroll in Beginner Coding during future classes or camps in order to gain proficiency in Coding and progress through each of these levels.  NextGen Teachers adjust the content and curriculum so that each student can pick up where they left off.

 

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 other families on the Waitlist.  There are no refunds after the first week.

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.
