Fashion and Design Ages 8-10

July 6, 2020 @ 10:30 am - 11:45 am MDT

$150
Link to Fashion and Design

Age: 8 – 10 years (3rd/4th Grade)

Time: 8 sessions over 4 weeks, two 75-minute sessions per week
Mondays/Wednesdays

Students build fashion-themed programs including a fashion walk, a stylist tool, and a pattern maker.

Flex your creative thinking skills as you design custom projects in Scratch. Scratch is a programming language and an online community where children can program and share interactive media such as stories, games and animation. Playfully build a foundation in computer science (coding) as you imagine, create and share.

Intermediate Level: course is suitable for students familiar with block coding.
Recommended prerequisite: My First Intro to Coding! or other Introductory level course

Learning Outcomes

  • Learn to connect online, screen share, use chat to communicate with Coach and fellow students (on-line collaboration)
  • Learn fundamentals of computer science and Scratch
  • Fashion and Design Theme based on CS First Curriculum : 8 Activities
    • Fashion Story: Learn about CS First and Scratch, then create a fashion story in Scratch.
    • Fashion Walk: Create a fashion show using loops and motion blocks.
    • Ultimate Stylist: Make a program that allows users to select a set of fashion accessories to place on an image.
    • Fashion Innovation: Imagine a technology innovation as part of a model’s outfit, and create a program that describes the innovation to the users.
    • Fashion Poll: Create an interactive project where users can vote on their favorite sprite.
    • Window Shopper: Build a window display that changes when a user interacts with it.
    • Pattern Maker: Design your own pattern while you learn how procedures are used in computer science.
    • Fashion Awards: Build a project that reflects what you have learned and accomplished in Fashion and Design.

Benefits of Code on the Road

Benefits to Participating Youth and Families

Code on the Road will foster emotional learning by providing students with a safe and supportive environment. We leverage the welcoming spaces of local community libraries trusted by attending families. 

Students can build confidence and resilience by tackling new challenges and overcoming obstacles in their coding projects. The perseverance acquired during these activities strengthens learning in many subjects, including mathematics and language skills. 

Code.org has highlighted six studies to show that studying computer science helps students outperform in school and college in the LinkedIn article CS helps students outperform in school, college, and workplace. 

Moreover, coding classes will allow students to explore their interests and passions via their projects, which can contribute to a sense of purpose and identity.

Professional Development for Librarians

Our summer program immediately benefits librarians/support staff as they participate in coding activities via informal professional development (PD). Each library has agreed to provide support during the events, which are specific opportunities to learn by doing, with the assurance that we’re there as subject matter experts. 

Multiple weekly sessions reinforce the knowledge gained by each library’s employees.This hands-on PD enables the local teams serving their community to host future STEM coding events more confidently.

We also view these events and the content material as the basis for a lasting partnership with each library as they share resources (event room, Wi-Fi/internet, laptops/Chromebooks) and, most importantly, their time.

 

Content for Librarians and Educators

Panucation will create and deliver instructional videos and a remix of content based on Getting Unstuck’s modules 1 (When Clicked) and 2 (Parallelism.) 

The nature of this pilot program allows us to revise the instructional content over the summer.  The resulting material will be a long-term public resource available to librarians and educators.

The general release of content is planned for September 2023.

Let's Chat!

Class : Mars Pioneer

Description

Students use block code to build an interplanetary story and game. Multi-themed projects include elements of storytelling, art, animation, music, and game design all in one. Projects emphasize creativity by encouraging students to build their unique stories each day.

Intermediate Level course is suitable for students familiar with block coding.

Class Levels:  Intro for Ages 7-12, Intermediate for Ages 9-12 Prerequisite for Intermediate: My First Intro to Coding! or previous course
Agenda

1. Design Your Journey

Tell your story. Who’s going, create/draw your ship, prepare Perseverance for launch.

2. Launch & Transit

 Animating departure from Earth and through space. Is there an imposter on board?!

3: Land & Explore

Create a game to land on target. Explore and decide what (or who) you’ll find.

4: Drone Time

Launch the drone, Ingenuity, and create your scrolling background effect as it flies.

5: Should I stay or should I go?

How does your story end, or does it continue to the next chapter?

Learning Outcomes
  • Learn to connect online, screen share, use chat to communicate with Coach and fellow students (on-line collaboration via Zoom)
  • Learn fundamentals of computer science using Scratch
  • Multi-day projects include integrated elements of storytelling, art, animation, music, and game design.

For 4th to 7th grade classes, there are additional learning outcomes:

  • Students add depth to their creations with additional project coding.
  • Intermediate level classes cover material faster to allow for more coding depth to projects
