Description
Embark on an exciting journey into the world of computer science with our "ScratchJr Coding Adventure: Digital Storytellers" program! Designed specifically for young learners in Kindergarten to 2nd Grade, this engaging 2-hour class introduces foundational coding concepts through creative digital storytelling, interactive animation, and game design using the intuitive ScratchJr app.
What Makes Our 2-Hour Program Special and Different from a 75-Minute Class?
Our extended 2-hour format allows for a significantly richer and deeper learning experience, providing ample time for:
Deeper Exploration & Complexity: With more time, students move beyond basic commands to explore advanced blocks like repeat loops, send/receive messages between characters, grow/shrink effects, and start on bump triggers. This enables them to build more complex animations and interactive stories, such as a "Busy City" with cars moving repeatedly or "Farm Animal Friends" that communicate with each other.
Enhanced Project Development: Students have the luxury of time to refine their projects, experiment with new ideas, and truly personalize their creations. They can debug their code with greater patience, add more intricate details, and see their digital visions come to life more fully.
Integrated STEAM Learning: While the primary focus is coding, the projects naturally weave in elements of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics):
Technology: Direct interaction with digital tools and programming concepts.
