GAME DEVELOPMENT / BEGINNER-INTERMEDIATE
Grades 2-5, 8-weekly sessions beginning September 24, 2020*
Tuesdays, 3:10pm-4:10pm, Cost: $185 per student
This course introduces students to computer programming through the fun and excitement of building video games. Working in Scratch, a drag-and-drop programming tool, students will create everything from animations to multi-level games. Beginner students will learn the core concepts of programming a game, such as loops, conditionals, and variables. Intermediate students will level-up to more complex concepts, like nested conditionals and functions with parameters. Projects are updated each session, so returning students will have new challenges to work through and advance their creativity and knowledge to the next level.

Looking to level-up? This class will provide students with advanced programming concepts, allowing them to create more sophisticated games, programs, and animations. Intermediate students will level-up to new projects, such as platform, scrolling, and multi-player games. Advanced students will learn to dominate complex concepts like game physics, arrays, and artificial intelligence. This class is recommended for students who have completed one or more sessions with us or have attended at least 15 hours of another Scratch coding class.
