Basics of block programming: Scratch Junior Level I
Scratch Junior is a block-based programming language that lays the foundation of learning programming by introducing programming concepts such as loops and conditionals through fun and interesting games and animations. In this course, students learn the basics of block programming and the way they can use each block to animate characters.
Introduction to Scratch Junior, covering basic concepts such as block-based coding, navigating the interface, and starting with simple animations and interactions.
2
Motion and Animation
Learn how to use motion blocks to control the movement of characters, allowing them to perform actions like walking, jumping, and gliding across the screen.
3
Looks and Sounds
Discover how to change the appearance of characters and add sounds, enhancing projects with visual effects and soundscapes to create more engaging animations.
4
Control Blocks and Sequencing
Understand how to implement control blocks, such as loops and conditions, to create structured sequences and more complex project logic for animations.
5
Loops and Event Handling
Learn to use loops for repeating actions and apply event-handling mechanisms, enabling characters to react to interactions like collisions or key presses.
