This Basic Scratch Junior Course is designed for the youngest of learners. Through the 11 simple lessons, kids learn how to use sound blocks, import sprites, change their sizes or remove them, and animate a car to build a simple cartoon. Making a postcard and a timer are other things that children learn in the Basic course.
Throughout our Scratch Junior course, kids will learn how to connect blocks together in the right sequence to get the right output. They will learn to control a “Sprite”, or program the sprites to act upon a condition or after a delayed time. Kids will also learn about sequential and inserted cycles as well as broadcasting messages between Scratch Junior programming codes. After each lesson, there is homework provided for students to practice what they have learned. Most importantly, our lessons in this Scratch Junior coding course will encourage students to think logically when building the programming code to avoid errors and bugs. All of that is done via series of interesting projects that can be created within Scratch Junior’s coding framework for fun learning.
