Scratch Junior Full Course is the stepping stone for any young learner who wants to learn programming. The lessons begin with very simple instructions like importing sprites, changing, and moving them, and then moves toward building animations, postcards, timers, games, and stories. Through the course kids have the opportunity to make an entire aquarium, birthday card for a friend, a ghost story, a snake game, and many more fascinating adventures!
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.
