Hi, my name is Shervin House. I am a top rated Udemy instructor, and I this course I will be teaching how to code using MIT's wonderful programming tool, Scratch!
Scratch is an easy to use programming software with user-friendly UI, as well as drag & drop capabilities. The ease of use of this tool makes it the best way for kids and/or beginners to learn the fundamentals of coding while making fun and exciting games or projects.
In this course, we learn how to code by doing. We go from project to project, and learn how we can use various important concepts such as loops, conditions, object oriented programming, and broadcasting in order to achieve the effects that we desire for our program. The projects we make are designed to be fun and entertaining in order to engage kids, so that they pay maximum attention to the concepts we intend to learn together.
The projects we program together in this course include guess the number, paint, racing car, asteroid shooter, and lifeguard, which is a fun game that uses your webcam motion detection so you can play by moving your hands in real life. All this and more are the sorts of fun and exciting programs we will make together, while learning all of these important fundamentals that every future programmer needs to learn and fully conceptualize.
What you can expect from this course:
Comprehensive tutorials, we walk through every step of the process thoroughly and extreme care to detail, in order to maximize the learning opportunity for children
Fun but insightful projects! It is very important for us that the children taking the course enjoy the process, as that will keep them engaged and eager to learn; that said, it is just as important to maximize learning within these fun projects too, as it is most fruitful to learn while doing
All questions answered within 24 hours; if you or your children ever have any questions about any of the topics, you have a direct line to us to ask and get feedback on your question within a day
