Class Experience

Kids learn to code in Scratch by building a solar system simulation. They create planet sprites, program orbits and add moons and information pop-ups.

Along the way they learn how the solar system really works, and they finish with a project they can share online.

How classes work

Each week starts with a short live demo of the new idea, followed by guided practice while the teacher checks in with every learner. Classes end with a small challenge to try before next time.

What we'll cover

  • Week 1: Scratch Basics – Learn the Scratch interface and make a first sprite move.

  • Week 2: Sprites – Create planet sprites and backdrops.

  • Week 3: Orbits – Program planets to orbit the sun with loops.

  • Week 4: Moons – Add moons that orbit their planets.

  • Week 5: Info – Add clickable pop-ups with planet facts.

  • Week 6: Share – Polish and share the finished simulation.

Learning Outcomes

  • Code projects using Scratch blocks

  • Simulate planet orbits with motion and loops

  • Learn real solar system science

  • Share a finished coding project

Prerequisites

No experience needed. Learners need a device with a camera and microphone for live classes.
