  BREWSTER, MA ­ The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster, as part of their STEAM 
initiative, presents Introduction to Coding and 
Interactive Story Boards, a technology 
opportunity for kids ages 5-7, with Kristen 
Hilley Five Sundays April 23 ~ May 21, 2017 1pm-2:30pm.
  What does computer “code” mean and how does it 
work?  Coding is the new literacy! Code is the 
instructional language humans write for computers 
to make computers do specific tasks. Students 
will begin an introductory journey into the 
exciting world of computer programming. Kids will 
learn in a fun, interactive environment using 
“ScratchJr”, a modern block-based programming app 
designed for their specific age range. No 
experience is required. After the class, kids can 
continue their exploration using the free 
ScratchJr application from home, which is 
collaboration between the DevTech Research Group 
at Tufts University, the Lifelong Kindergarten 
Group at the MIT Media Lab, and the Playful Invention Company.

WEEK 1: INTRO TO SCRATCHJR
WEEK 2: DRIVE A CAR ACROSS THE CITY
WEEK 3: SPRITES RUN A RACE
WEEK 4: ANIMATE A SPOOKY FOREST
WEEK 5: SPRITES DANCE PARTY
