Hello parents and students!
The STEM queens continued their scratch projects with help from camp mentors. They spent the day making unique and creative projects, ranging from ping-pong games, to narrations about birthday parties, dance battles, and racing adventures. The room is quiet, filled with intense focus, interrupted by occasional giggles as they show their project to their friends for feedback. Some of them wrap up one project and excitedly continue to the next, while others explore other projects created by the Scratch community.
Now that they have familiarized themselves with Scratch and feel more comfortable with coding logic (commands, if-else statements, functions) we will be transitioning into Code Combat. Code Combat is a game that uses challenges to teach block coding in Javascript or Python. The XX Coders coded functions in order to make characters move around, attack, or obtain objects within the game. This is a great way to practice coding and learn new languages at the same time. They will be continuing this tomorrow.
