Special Interest

Interested in computer coding and learning to build your own animations? What about building a game? This 10 week interactive course teaches 3rd-6th grade students the basics of block coding using Scratch. Block coding introduces fundamental program conceps such as sequencing, loops, conditionals, and variables in a fun and visual system that makes it easier for kids to understand and manipulate code logic. 

This course splits into two sections (with a one week break in the middle!). The Coding Crew meets on Wednesdays from 4:30-6:00 February 21st-March 20th and April 3rd-May 1st.

Each session includes a short lesson on an artistic concept, then students work independently while the instructor(s) rotate through giving individual feedback. These four week virtual workshops are great for all ages, but we recommend younger students are directly supervised by an adult, just in case!
