creative computing using MIT Scratch
(for 5th~7th grade)
Walnut Campus: 3/16/14~5/18/14 (Sunday) 2:00 ~ 4:00 PM for 8 weeks Now enrolling !
Programming is one of the most creative processes that can transform ideas into reality, and can be introduced to students as young as 8-year-old. The goal of this program is to highlight what can be created by using programming as a tool. Students will create projects that reflect the diversity of interests in the classroom and that are personal to individual student by using MIT Scratch visual programming tool.
Scratch is a computer programming language that makes it fun and easy to design and create interactive stories, games, and animation – and share their creation on the web. It provides an environment that lends itself to “tinkering.” The drag and drop nature of blocks moves the focus away from messy syntax and allows for making modification quickly. It was created by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in year 2003. MIT Scratch was designed for students ages 8~16 to benefit from the program’s use of critical thinking skills to reason, create, and problem solve by designing their own animation projects within the program.
By learning MIT Scratch, students will be ahead of others in developing their math, spatial orientation, audio-visual synchronization and pattern recognition skills. This is a valuable lesson to take which can benefit students in the years to come.

本課程傳授由麻省理工學院(MIT)研發的遊戲及動畫設計軟體Scratch，來提高學員邏輯思考、系統推理、創意思維、協同合作的能力。MIT Scratch自2003年推出迄今，在全球已有累積超過百萬名青少年透過它來踏入電腦創作世界。Scratch使用類似積木和塗鴉的精髓，將程式語言用〝抓取→置放〞(Drag & Drop)的方式一層層堆疊起來。初學者不須經過複雜的〝寫程式〞考驗就能很快掌握程式設計的樂趣。本課程能拓展學員創造及學習的範圍，並開發重要的數學和計算知識(如座標、方位…等)，讓學員在「玩電腦」的同時也能提高學術力。上課內容以發展一段互動故事或遊戲設計為主軸，配以動畫、語音、影像、色彩，讓學員獲得如編劇或導演般的成就感。本課程也是學習進階級程式語言如Java, C++….等的暖身課程。
上課地點：核桃校區(18800 Amar Road, Suite A-7, Walnut, CA 91789)
上課時間：3/16/14 ~ 5/18/14 (週日)下午2:00~4:00 (共10週) 招生中
招生對象：5~7年級
