Welcome to the exciting world of coding with Scratch! This course is designed to introduce elementary school students to the fundamentals of computer programming through interactive and engaging activities. Through the use of Scratch, a beginner-friendly programming language developed by MIT, potential skills that students may learn include: creating their own animations, stories, and games while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Throughout the course, students may explore the following topics: basic coding concepts such as sequencing, loops, conditionals, and variables in a fun and supportive environment. They will also learn important computational thinking skills such as breaking down problems into smaller steps and recognizing patterns.

Each session will consist of hands-on activities, interactive lessons, and collaborative projects that encourage creativity and experimentation. Students will have the opportunity to express their creativity by designing and coding their own projects, allowing them to explore their interests and showcase their unique talents.

By the end of the course, students will have gained a foundational understanding of coding principles and be able to create their own interactive animations, stories, and games using Scratch. They will also have developed important skills such as teamwork, communication, and perseverance, which are essential for success in both coding and everyday life.
