This course uses Scratch to introduce younger students to coding. Scratch is a block based coding interface designed for younger learners

&nbsp;

Each of the first 12 lessons introduce a foundational concept including; variables, operators, Boolean, grids, coordinates, degrees, angles, conditional statements, loops, random numbers, functions, and parameters

&nbsp;

A series of coding exercises, project steps and quizzes reinforce learning. The final three lessons are devoted to a capstone project where students codes a Scratch game applying the concepts and knowledge that they have acquired.

Getting Started with Scratch 

Welcome to Scratch game development at UCode. I'm excited to see you here and to work with you on developing your Scratch coding skills. Ready to get started?

Moving a sprite in scratch

Last lesson, we learned two ways to move your sprite. This lesson we introduce coordinates and the Move X, Y command. Lets code!

Using Loops in Scratch

Today, I want to introduce a new function. REPEAT. This is also known as a LOOP. Loops are great when you need something to happen over and over again.

Conditional Statements in scratch

Today, I want to introduce a second kind of statement, the IF THEN statement. These use Boolean logic, determine IF a statement is true or false and THEN do something like execute a command.

Variables in scratch

Variables are used to store information for use in a program. Variables allow us to lgive a name to our data, so our programs can be understood more clearly by programmer. Lets learn more.

Sprite Interactions in Scratch

So far we've only used one sprite at a time. But what if we want to use multiple sprites at once? Well, how will the sprites work together and affect each other? Let's find out how this works in Scratch.

Functions  in Scratch

A FUNCTION is a block of code that can be written once and be used in multiple places in your program. They are very useful. Let’s learn more.

Parameters  in Scratch

Today, we're going to introduce PARAMETERS and learn how to create FUNCTIONS with PARAMETERS. The Parameter supplies the value that the Function needs to complete its calculation. Let's code!

Arithmetic Operators  in Scratch

Today we're going to introduce how to use ARITHMETIC OPERATORS in Scratch. The four ARITHMETIC OPERATORS we're going to cover today are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
