In this module, students use block-based and text-based programming tools to create websites, animations, and digital art. They also engage in collaborative brainstorming, iterative design, and troubleshooting processes. The curriculum’s focus on creativity ensures that students see computer science not just as a technical skill, but as a powerful medium for self-expression and innovation.
Using Scratch, students build an interactive story, incorporating sequencing, events, and basic conditional statements to create a narrative. This lesson enhances their understanding of storytelling and programming logic.
Using Scratch Jr., students create a short animation by combining different event blocks. This lesson introduces the concept of events that trigger specific actions, helping students understand cause and effect in programming.
