Thank You Project

Procedure

1. Recap the last activity and have students log in to the Scratch website [if they have an account].

2. Lead students through the series watch videos and create a "Create a Thank You Project and Free Time to Build" project in Scratch.

3. Check in with students as they watch the videos and complete their projects.

• Video 1: Creating a new project without guidance can be a challenge, so be sure to check in with club members individually and discuss what they're working on to provide guidance if needed.

4. Students choose Add-ons to enhance their project.

5. When there are five minutes left in class, instruct students to find the Wrap Up page and complete the short survey.

6. Instruct students to share their project in Scratch and to also show it to a neighbor/classmate.

7. Walk around the room to sign and date the certificate page in each students’ passport, and acknowledge their completion of this CS First theme.

8. Discuss the activity and facilitate a brief discussion about what students learned and experienced.

• Question 1: What was your favorite project that you made in this club and why?

• Question 2: What was the most surprising thing that you were able to do?

• Question 3: What was the most important thing that you learned about computer science?

• Question 4: What do computer scientists do?

• Question 5: Does anyone have any questions for me about what we've worked on in this club or about computer science in general?
