Teacher: Zion Darius Teacher Assistant: Coretta Ponder Email: corettaponder@gmail.com Date/Time: Wednesday - 3:30 PM to 4:30 AM Room: Classroom 25 Department: Elementary Grade Level: 7-8 years old, 9-10 years old Maximum Enrollment: 15 Beginning Scratch Coding Class This introductory Scratch coding class is designed for beginners with little or no prior programming experience. Students learn the basics of coding through Scratch, a visual, block-based programming language developed by MIT. Using colorful drag-and-drop blocks, students create interactive stories, animations, and simple games while learning core programming concepts such as sequencing, loops, events, and conditionals. The class emphasizes creativity, problem-solving, and logical thinking in a fun, supportive environment. Students work at their own pace, experiment with ideas, and build confidence as they bring their projects to life. By the end of the class, students will understand fundamental coding concepts and be able to design and share their own Scratch projects. Students must bring their own laptop/Chrome Books every week. Ipads are ok, but a computer is preferred so they can program arrow keys. Students must also bring a 2inch binder with dividers. Semester Fee: $50 (entire Spring Semester) Supply Fee: $25 (entire Spring Semester) Payment Option: You may contact Coretta Ponder at corettaponder@gmail.com with any questions. Thanks! |
