Learn to Code with TechVenture Kids Summer -
SCRATCH: Games and Animations
| |
| |
Do you like to play games or watch animations? Want to create your own? We'll provide the laptops and instruction for creating your own games and animations featuring Ninja's, Minecraft-type people or your favorite movie characters or something you've drawn yourself. Your imagination is the only limit.
We will introduce basic, intermediate and advanced coding concepts through unique and fun projects. Each project allows kids to create their own unique games or animations, using concepts they learn along the way. We blend short lessons with lots of hands-on coding time, allowing students as deeply into their own projects as they want. It's summer, so we'll keep our brains sharp with some fun in the sun time in between projects.
Registration is now open on the TechVenture Kids' website

Time: 1:00 - 4:00pm
