Description
At Coding & Video Game Design, 1st & 2nd grade students will learn to code and play their own computer games!
Students will begin coding their own games with ScratchJr before progressing to Scratch. With Scratch, students will use a Makey Makey to create and program their own musical instruments and game controllers. In the final two classes, students will even learn how to code their own mods in MinecraftEdu, and get to test them out by playing the MinecraftEdu game!
Learning to code teaches the “Four C’s”: critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity. This course is designed for students in grades 1-2 who have an interest in coding & gaming, and are ready to take their skills to the next level.
No class Monday, 9/21, 10/12.
