Scratch Coding

Scratch is a program developed by MIT which teaches students the basics of how computers think. This course will introduce students, in grades 3 through 8, to coding programs and allow them to drag and drop coding blocks to create a fully functional program. The user interface and tutorials allow students to quickly create and run their code to see its results. This course assumes no prior computer coding knowledge and includes self-graded quizzes and tests.Note: Lightweight devices such as Apple iPads, Google Chromebooks, and tablets have limited support for Java and programming-based content. Therefore, students will need a laptop or computer for this course.
