Programming with Scratch
This course teaches programming with Scratch for children, teens and beginners. Scratch is an easy, free programming language that relies on graphical blocks instead of complicated code, so it builds creativity and helps you make games and interactive stories. You start with highlights from the course, then the first steps with Scratch and the ways of working with it, and you get to know Sprites and how to control the background. After that you learn programming commands and the Motion command group, Looks, running commands according to events, Sounds and using the Pen. Then you move on to variables and lists, events on sprites, controlling sprites with Control, sensing touch and colors, and operations, and you finish with building a complete game, together with the programming book and the Scratch attachments. This course suits children, parents and teachers. The learner needs no previous programming experience. The explanation is simple and fun and divided into short lessons, so it is easy for a child to follow and practice. By the end you will be able to design a project or an interactive game yourself using Scratch.
