About This Activity
Description
STEM Video Game Enrichment for the 21st Century learner. Each {YEL!} Video Game class follows four basic components:
- Teach It!…Students learn different video game design techniques (movement blocks, control blocks, basic animation, adding scores, etc.)
- Code It!… Students use Scratch® to code their own video games: i.e. maze runner, asteroid smash and more.
- Explore It!…Students can write their own video game code, experiment with it and test new options. Our collaborative learning environment encourages students to learn from each other.
- Keep It!…Students can keep their video games online with Scratch and can access it and expand upon it at anytime.

Scratch® is an MIT created and monitored, kid-safe web interface. It uses a drag and drop programming interface to teach students of all levels coding practices. Your child will receive a Scratch user name and password so they can access their projects from any computer at anytime.
