Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create their own interactive diorama on outer space. The purpose of this project is to continue applying understanding from previous projects.
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create their own interactive diorama about animals on a farm. The purpose of this project is to introduce coders to the sound blocks.
Coders will trigger sound blocks to play a musical instrument made out of different sprites. The purpose of this project is to review creating sprites and triggering sound blocks when a sprite is tapped. Another purpose of this project is to also introduce remixing.
Students will learn the basic features of Scratch, a block-based visual prgramming language, and create a simple program using Scratch.
Use LEGO centers to learn the CS vocabulary: algorithm, program, loop, conditional, event, function, and variable.
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create a short story about a monster under the bed (or in the closet). The purpose of this project is to apply previously learned concepts in a new context and to learn how to modify a backdrop to make it look like nighttime.
Explore different "lost in the woods" scenarios and determine what it actually takes to survive in Maine.
Then create a survival pack - one that you could carry at all times that could help you if you were to ever become "Lost in Maine" - and virtually share the pack with other students and adults via a “preparedness public service announcement.”
