We ran our second session in a three-part series of web conferences: Let’s start from Scratch and learn to code: Part 2. Let’s create digital artwork and animation stories in Scratch. Learn about logic patterns, algorithms, data storage and making maths fun.

Part 2 – digital artwork and animation movies

In the words of Steve Jobs, “Computer science is a liberal arts”. Let’s create digital artwork and introduce how you can make animated stories with Scratch. Learn about Cartesian coordinates, algorithms, and sequencing.

Presentation slides

 

Links to Scratch projects

– Pattern Studio: learn about Cartesian coordinates, using ‘pen’ blocks, creating buttons and broadcasting messages

– Animation movie: learn about timing conversations, using the ‘say’ block, broadcasting messages to change scenes in the movie, changing sizes of sprites, planning a project by sketching a storyboard.

 

What next?

Part 3: Thursday 11 May, 3.30pm

Let’s build a computer game and make learning about Cartesian coordinates fun. Learn about algorithms, sequencing, branching and looping.

 

Scratch and learn to code: Part 2 a three-part series. Join all 3 web conferences.
