Software Engineering: Programming/ Coding & Scratch Video Sensing
Age: 8-12
What’s more fun than playing an interactive video game? Writing one!
With coding and programming knowledge, today’s engineers can work faster and come up with more creative design solutions.
Video sensing allows students to design and program their own video games and then test them by interacting with the program via webcam. In this Scratch program, students work together to create their own games, art, and musical instruments while exploring coding foundations.

Junior Scratch: "Hardware Engineering & Musical Adventures"
Age: 4-7
When your favorite song comes on the radio do you sit quietly, or do you dance around and play the air drum solo? In Musical Adventures with Scratch, we are going to explore how different sounds are created and we will create our own interpretations of common musical instruments like drums, piano, guitar, and even a recorder, and we will create our very own dancing program, all using Makey Makey and Scratch to bring our music to life! The last day will end with a bang, or at least a great mini concert from all our students!
