Advanced Scratch Ages 6 to 9

This course is open to students who have completed Scratch Game Development or who have completed another Scratch Course. The course consists of 17 Units, with the first three units reviewing basic Scratch functionality. The rest of the course focuses on three fundamental computer science concepts: Variables, Logic, Loops and Conditional Statements. The lessons arefocused on introducing the concepts and then mastering them through coding exercises and project step. Students work at their own pace and supported by an instructor. Each lesson is available as a professionally produced video for review by students outside of class. The final lesson is devoted to a Capstone project where students demonstrate their mastery by building a game.
