This class is for kids with little or no programming experience. We’ll work mostly with Scratch, and those who want to can learn some Python too. With Scratch we’ll make simple games, simulations and stories, and learn some fundamentals of graphical programming: loops, conditions, events, positioning objects using x and y coordinates, sprites, and animation. |
