What Students Will Learn

Learning Goals

Master the creation and programming of interactive games using Scratch, including controlling sprites, implementing game logic, and using conditionals.
Understand and apply the concept of variables for scorekeeping and clones for game elements in Scratch.
Develop proficiency in coding keyboard controls, modifying sprite size and position, and preventing character passage through maze walls in Scratch.
Gain competence in using the Text to Speech feature in Scratch, including making characters speak, altering their voices and accents, and creating dialogues.
Learn to create dynamic visual effects in Scratch, such as a trailing effect with clones, colour changes, and adding costumes for different shapes.

Learning Outcomes

Design and programme an interactive game using Scratch, controlling sprite movements and implementing game logic.
Utilise variables and clones in Scratch to create a scoring system and dynamic game elements.
Develop a Maze Game in Scratch, programming character navigation and collision detection.
Implement the Text to Speech feature in Scratch, creating dialogues between characters with varied voices and accents.
Create an interactive 'Pattern Snake' in Scratch, using clones for trailing effects and costumes for variety.
Build a game in Scratch involving loops, conditionals, and variables, enhancing coding skills through practical application.
Add sound effects to a Scratch game, enhancing user experience and game dynamics.
Animate a sprite in Scratch and participate in build battles, demonstrating creativity and time management skills.
