Description: the course provides familiarization and learning of the basics of programming in the visual Scratch environment.
Scratch is an object-oriented environment in which blocks of programs are assembled from multicolored Lego brick-based commands. As a result of performing simple commands, children can create from simple scripts to complex projects, where many objects with different properties can interact (changing the appearance, moving and managing characters, and so on).
During the course, children can create their own animated and interactive stories, projects, games, and so on.
What is needed: personal computer with web connection support (webcam and microphone), an Internet connection speed of AT LEAST 7 MB/s (incoming and outgoing).
Preparing for the first lesson: before the first lesson, students are provided with all the necessary information on how to install the required training programs on their computer, as well as instructions on how to install and operate Zoom.
The teacher helps students understand all the tools and programs in the first trial lesson that will be used in the course, as well as gives an introductory lesson with practical tasks for students.
Form of education: training takes place in groups (no more than 8 people) once a week. During the remote lesson, students work in the Zoom program, where the teacher has the opportunity to monitor their work and help using the remote control function. It is recommended that parents attend the class.
