Course Description

What if instead of just playing games and watching TV, your kids could actually make THEIR OWN games and animated stories? This course is aimed for kids between 8 and 16 and they'll learn how to make simple games, stories and animation using Scratch, a visual programming platform for children created by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Scratch makes it very simple for kids to understand basic coding concepts and to make their creations come true by just dragging and dropping elements and connecting them with each other. It is highly visual, interactive and fun! The course is project-based, this means we'll work though out actual examples that you can modify and play with afterwards. Cat in Desert Wizard Boy Zombie Farm Ocean Story Halloween Game What your kids will learn in this course: Using intuitive building blocks to visually craft simple web games, stories and animations. Grasping programming concepts such as conditions and loops. Taught with a project-based methodology. Make their creations interactive for the users. Share their games and animations so that other people can play and modify them. Most importantly, understand how simple it is to make their creative ideas a reality in today's world.

you took away the wizard boy. Why do you still have this exercise if there is no wizard boy. Other than that it is really fun, I am 15 years old girl who want to learn more about coding and game design and this really helps. Thanks for your hard work in this app

It was fun to learn this course,At the starting of the course it was a bit hard then it became easy for me and i enjoyed the course

I like this course bacause she made mistakes and she fixed them, I also like how she was very specific and made us understand what everything means. I like how she explained it slowly so no one would get stuck your lost on how to use Scratch. Very well one!
