Code With Mitzy is a self guided coding project that is created in collaboration with Mitzy Makes It and Code With Her. This three part summer project that will keep your kids engaged and having fun over the summer!

Watch Mitzy's Happy First Day of Summer video on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMVyBZZZqQM

We will be learning how to create a part of the video in this project.

In this self - guided project you will:

• Code and animate part of our Code With Mitzy video
• Design your own animated character
• Learn basic coding concepts to animate your project, including: Prototyping, Algorithms, User Events, Loops and Conditional Statements
• Learn how to use the Scratch coding platform to create your own coding projects in the future.
• Added bonus! If you are a Girl Scout, you will earn the follow badges: Robotics Badges (Brownie/Junior) and Entertainment Technology (Junior). Robotics is 3 badges combined, they are: (1) Programming Robots (2) Designing Robots (3) Showcasing Robots

Appropriate for ages 8+ with limited support from an adult. Don’t be intimidated by not knowing how to code-- you’re here to learn and we are here with step by step instructional videos. We will have two projects available “Beginner Level” and “Experienced Level”

Beginner Level: This level is perfect for you if you are brand-new to Scratch, or if you have used Scratch before but still need some guidance. This level will include video-recorded step-by-step coding instructions.

Experienced Level: Select this level if you’re comfortable with building Scratch projects on your own with little to no guidance. This level includes instructions to help you along the way.

This project has three parts, and should take around 8 - 10 hours total from start to finish. Because it is student led and self-guided, participants will be able to go at their own pace. Please note this project may take longer, and that’s okay!

Curriculum Roll Out:

• 6/21 - Part 1: Turtle Balloon
• 6/28 - Part 2: Flamingo Balloon
• 7/5 - Part 3: Bounce House Balloon

We use the platform Google Classroom for our DIY projects.

You will need a Gmail account to use Google Classroom. Note that Google/Gmail accounts created by your school or work may not be able to access our Google Classroom due to permissions set by your IT Administrators. All Gmail accounts ending in @gmail.com will work.

‘Code With Her’ and ‘Mitzy Makes It’ have an “On Your Honor” system for our program materials-- we ask that you respect the hard work & creativity our team has put into this DIY project by not sharing it with others.

We believe that everyone should have access to tech opportunities! If you are unable to participate because of cost, please email support@codewithher.org and request for an Opportunity Fund.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to support@codewither.org.
