Course Description

Scratch 1 is an introductory Scratch course meant to teach the fundamentals of programming in Scratch as well as programming in general. We start from the very basics of how to create elements in a project (sprites and backdrops) before moving onto a variety of programming concepts including loops, variables, conditionals, and more. At the end of the semester, students work for two weeks to create a final project demonstrating everything that they have learned.
