Scratch Coding: Beginner – Late Elementary and Middle School
The SDM Shop 406 Main Street, Melrose, MA, United StatesScratch is the world's largest free coding community for kids aged 8 through 16, but it is enjoyed by people of any age. It was created and is run by MIT, and it is a lot of fun! Scratch, like other block-based coding languages, is a good place for kids to start programming. They will learn about coding structure without needing to worry about a lot of syntax. The pieces of code are each in block format, and the programming is done by connecting blocks to describe the animation of objects that they also create.
Arduino Game Programming – Middle School
The SDM Shop 406 Main Street, Melrose, MA, United StatesStudents will learn how to use the Circuit Playground Express (CPX) to recreate Simon, a popular color memorization game. They will use MakeCode, a Scratch-based coding app, to program the CPX board. Students will learn to display different colors, keep track of players’ actions, connect buttons and wires, upload code to the CPX Board, and play their games!
Minimal prior coding experience is needed; basic middle school reading, typing, and math skills are required.
