Pigeon Forge, TN – 2023 75 Minute Programming Class: Building an Arcade Game in SCRATCH (10-18 Years Old)

Does your child love to play video games?  Would they enjoy being able to write their own?  Scratch is a drag-and-drop programming language designed for beginners.  It separates learning to think logically from remembering obscure keywords and syntax.  In this class, participants will write their own arcade-style game in Scratch.  Along the way, they will develop skills in problem solving and algorithmic reasoning, and they will learn a bit about geometry.  The class is suitable for students beginning around 5^th grade through high school.  No prior programming experience is required.
