Week 9 and 10 (May 18 - 31)
Introduction to coding (Scratch projects) - continued from last year
Scratch is a free programming language and online community where students can create their own interactive stories, games, and animations.
This activity will take two weeks. In the first week students should explore the application tools, and learn and create one or few projects by following the tutorials of choice posted on this webpage. Students should start with the getting-started tutorial and choose few of the other tutorials so that they decide which to do - click the button Try the tutorial for each tutorial. In the second week they create a final project (story, animation or game) and share it.
The sprites in the coding project are of student choice, and the topic is things they are passionate about, an activity that they really like to do/ something they enjoy in. It is expected that different kinds of loops, events, functions, and conditionals are used.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
In order to register for their class the student should find below a sign-up link (and click the one of their class) and create an account (username and password) - done only once. They will be directed to a class page where they can "Join this Class" - a student can only be a part of one class.
IMPORTANT: Usernames must not reveal the identity of students in any way. Students should not use their real names, school name, contact information or student ID numbers.
When a student first signs up on Scratch, they are asked for basic demographic data including gender, age (birth month and year), and country. This data is used in research studies intended to improve the understanding of how people learn with Scratch.
If a student forgets their password I can manually reset a student password from within my Scratch Teacher Account.
Note: All content shared within the class will be accessible to the Scratch community.
