This engaging school coding workshop offers students a chance to learn real-time programming in a fun atmosphere! Using laptops and Scratch, students are asked to complete a variety of tasks whilst learning about basic programming.The programming itself is based on Scratch’s easy-to-understand software, whereby students intuitively use simple ‘drag and drop’ icons to form their code. Over a series of weeks, students will learn the fundamentals of how machines read code found in all computer applications. Students will learn; how to program a series of simple steps to achieve an outcome how to program loops of repeating code a given number of times how to create ‘if this, than that’ questions for machines to read … also known as ‘if statements’ By using challenges within the Scratch platform, students will learn when to apply these understandings in a variety of situations. Based on student ability, students build the capacity to create animations, simple games & more! Requirements Appropriate for Years 3 to 6 with a maximum of 30 students per class 10 tables needed Access to at least 2 electrical power sockets Chairs for the students A whiteboard & prjector would be useful but not necessary Set up time 30 minutes and pack up time 30 minutes During Social Distancing – Contact us and we’ll tailor a program to suit both your school and the State’s social distancing requirements.
