Scratch

Discover the power of coding as you build games and bring characters to life.

In this course, students dive into digital animation and game design using Scratch, a fun, beginner-friendly coding platform. They learn to navigate Scratch’s interface, create and animate characters, and build interactive scenes. As they go, students bring their ideas to life through block-based coding, crafting animations, stories, and games.

Students work on creative projects that let them explore coding concepts and express their unique ideas. They might design an interactive story, create a “catch the objects” game with a scoring system, or develop a platformer with multiple levels. Projects range from animated music videos to quiz shows and mini-movies, each offering hands-on experience in animation and game design.

By the end of the course, students have a portfolio of animations and games that showcase their creativity and new skills. They leave with a solid foundation in Scratch, confidence in their coding abilities, and a sense of pride in their work. This course offers an exciting, hands-on introduction to digital creation.
