Coding For Little Curious Minds

100%

by Young Gates

Coding is a part of the computer science curriculum that is currently lacking in schools. I believe that all kids can code and it allows them to become creators and inventors, which is what we need our children to do as they get older. Students will learn the very basics of what coding is. 1. Compare coding and giving a character a command. 2. Watch a video that explains how coding relates to us, coding, algorithms and debugging. 3. Work together to get the character, home by providing a code. 4. Work on code.org to begin coding tasks together as a group. Coding is a great way to build social and emotional skills that include, perseverance, resilience and problem solving as well as creativity and innovation. Students will learn vocabulary words, algorithm, program and debugging. They will begin to understand how to give a specific set of directions, and when they directions don't work, they will be able to find the mistake and fix it. They will also learn why coding is important.

Scratch Junior - Start Coding With Fun

100%

by Young Gates

In this course, we will learn the basics of using Scratch Jr. Students do not need to have any coding experience but should know how to work their device. Since this is for younger students, I highly advise the student having their zoom meeting on a computer and their project on a tablet that they can work on while still seeing the lesson. This will also allow them to show their work to the class as we go! Each class, the students will add to their animated story with new skills that they learn. Scratch Jr. is a visual block coding language that is perfect for prereaders. All of the blocks use images for their labels. Each of the for sessions is only 30 minutes long so that young students can stay engaged and focused the whole time. I will use screensharing to demonstrate the for the children and to guide their work. Lesson 1: Introduction -The students will be introduced to the Scratch Jr. App -We will start a new project, learn how to add characters and backgrounds and make our characters move Lesson 2: Creating/Editing Characters/Create Scenes -Students will take this class time to add/create all the characters and create programs Lesson 3: Animate our scenes -Students will learn how to animate a scene Lesson 4: Create Projects with more details
