Spring 2026 - Junior Coders: From Scratch to Apps TUES (9+)

This is a refreshed course for all experience levels of coding. We start off with scratch as a base. From there, we move on to creating games in scratch that use sensing elements like eye trackers and face trackers. We will integrate all concepts learned in a midterm game (Week 5) where students will build a fully functioning game with all the concepts they have learned. After week 5, the students will learn about Micro:Bits and the possibilities that they can unlock with them. After Week 7, the students will progress into typing their code and moving away from blocks. On week 10, there will be an awards ceremony and game presentation.
