Class Description

We’re creating the toys and games of our dreams in this fun-first introduction to coding, 3D design, and printing. We’ll start with our favorite book, game and movies heroes and stories and then design, code, animate, and play our games in Scratch, MIT’s block-based programming language for kids. We’ll 3D design and build our own toys, games, cars, rockets, robots, castles, and circuits in Tinkercad, the 3D design tool where you can create anything you can imagine. We’ll brainstorm our inspirations with clay, foam, and paper prototypes, then we’ll use 3D printing pens to create 3D objects. If you can imagine it, you can create it! Total cost includes a $5/child/class materials fee.

Skills Learned: Coding, Game Design, Animation, 3D Design & Printing, Story Crafting, Creative Arts

Technologies:
Scratch Coding & Game Design: Create the art and code the action in your own Scratch video game.

Instructor's reviews

My daughter actually switched to the other section of this class... 3rd-5th Grade, so I don't want to give this teacher a bad review but she had started in this section (K-2), so that's the review I was sent.

Overall, I found this class to be very disappointing. It was listed as a class taught by a Disney Princess and the class ended up having 3 different teachers during the course. This was confusing for the students and didn't offer any cohesiveness. The teachers couldn't even remember the kids names. At the end of the semester, very few songs or dances were actually taught and the kids mostly played games during the hours of the class. The class isn't inexpensive, so for this, I wouldn't gone somewhere else to give my daughter a better experience and have her learn something.

Harry Potter Camp was so much fun! My girls loved making wands and creating potions...and thinking of mischievous ways to stir trouble at Hogwarts! The creative programming was wonderful for this outdoor day camp and kept my girls busy and having a great time. Their only request was that the day lasted longer! They came home and continued creating ideas to keep the magic going. Thank you!

I feel that this course is not tailored for K-1 grade. K-1 graders need more moving around, especially after a long day at school, then was made possible by the instructor.
