We will begin by learning to program in Scratch and move on to how to teach Scratch programming!

<SPAN STYLE="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We’ll begin with Starter Projects that you can examine and learn from. We will then remix them, gaining the confidence to make changes and add to them so that they become your own. We will spend some time with the learning and teaching resources on the Scratch website, which include tutorials and activity cards, materials and methods easy to implement with your own students. 
<SPAN STYLE="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Scratch is more than a programming language. It is also an online community. We will explore how to navigate this rich environment where you can share projects, exchange ideas, and learn from others. We’ll detail how the Scratch online community will be used during the week of independent project building for sharing, communicating, and getting answers to questions.
<SPAN STYLE="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You will leave the introductory Zoom session with a list of resources and ideas to guide and support you in your project building during the week to follow.
 
<SPAN STYLE="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Project Building

You will have ample resources in the form of tutorials, activity cards, curriculum guides and sample projects to remix and build upon. 
<SPAN STYLE="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You will be able to share your work in a Scratch Studio where participants can see each other’s projects,, comment on them and ask questions about them.

<SPAN STYLE="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Finally, we’ll talk briefly about next steps after this initial programming experience – extensions of Scratch to include physical computing and robotics, transitions to other programming languages, and additional professional development opportunities. The possibilities are endless!
