  Introduction to Coding with Scratch for Kids Ages 7-10

  BREWSTER, MA ­ The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster, as part of their STEAM 
initiative, presents Introduction to Coding with 
Scratch, a technology opportunity for kids ages 
7-10, with Kristen Hilley. Five Sundays October 
1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 2017 ~ 12pm-1pm.

  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 
“Scratch”, a modern block-based programming 
language designed for their specific age range. 
No experience is required. After the class, kids 
can continue their exploration using the free 
Scratch program from home, see 
<http://scratch.mit.edu>http://scratch.mit.edu. 
Scratch is developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab.

WEEK 1: INTRO TO SCRATCH + ANIMATE YOUR NAME
WEEK 2: SPRITES RACE TO THE FINISH
WEEK 3: SPRITES MAKE MUSIC
WEEK 4: CREATE A  STORY BOARD
WEEK 5: CODE A GAME
