eScout Academy has two great programs to offer this fall!
Develop Games using Code Blocks and Python Level 1
Two Time Options!
Wednesdays or Thursdays
5:30pm - 6:30pm
This course introduces foundational computing skills, express and apply computing steps, build and play with code blocks as well as how to provide a smooth transition from block coding to text-based programming. Participants will learn Python basics, including: variables, loops and conditionals. Using these skills, they will create visuals, artwork, simulations and interactive games like Bounce! Race, and more! This comprehensive introduction sets the stage for more complex programming tasks and project-based learning, complemented by a lot of unplugged activities each week.
Hands-On Science using Micro:bit - Python Level 2
Tuesdays
5:30pm - 6:30pm
**Participants need coding experience or should have completed eScout Python Level 1**
This program will be an introduction on how to use and implement Micro:bit and Programming Basics. Participants will understand the functionalities of Micro:bit and basics of block coding / Micro-Python. They will learn to use Micro:bit's built-in sensors like accelerometer and light sensor. Create a step counter and a dice roller for board games. Eventually, using Advanced Sensor Projects and Data Handling, to implement more complex projects utilizing gestures and motion detection sensors. Participants will create projects like animal tracker, a water bottle alert, a plant watering system, and many more exciting science experiments!
