Dodgeball with Scratch
April 3, 2023
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Do you have what it takes to be the next Dodgeball champion? In this fun game we will learn how to add a title screen, a game over screen, and learn how to adjust the size of sprites to make our game look 3D. And we will add "Score" and "Lives" variables! Prerequisite: Children should have some prior experience with Scratch. Let's get Scratching!
Space Invaders with Scratch
Coming Soon!
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Introduced in 1978, the original Space Invaders is as classic as it gets! In this 75 minute workshop we will create a Scratch version of the iconic Space Invaders arcade game. In this project participants will learn how to use the "cloning" feature to create multiple copies of alien sprites and learn how to make our blaster cannon shoot lasers. Prerequisite: Children should have some prior experience with Scratch. Let's get Scratching!
Introduction to Coding with Scratch
TBD
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Stop playing games on the computer and start MAKING them! In this introductory course participants will learn computational thinking and problem solving skills as they create a classic "Catch the Apples" game. While making the game we will learn how to load and code sprites, how to add sound effects, and add a score variable. Participants will also learn how to customize their game and share it with family and friends! Let's get Scratching!
