Expired Daisy Coding for Good Badge 1

  •  05/01/2021
     1:00 pm CDT - 1:45 pm CDT

This is a live, online event with a limit of 9 per class.

30 minute workshop

Tuition: $6
Learn about coding as you program a cat to follow directions in a cool programming language called Scratch, Jr. Scratch, Jr is a fun language available free online and was developed for children ages 5-7. You can read more about it here: https://www.scratchjr.org/
Before we meet, download Scratch, Jr to a tablet, iPad or Android phone. It will not work on iPhones. It would be good to have 1 device for Zoom and one for Scratch, Jr. That way, you’ll be able to see the teacher’s screen and follow along.
We will complete the requirements for Badge 1 at this workshop.

  •  04/20/2021
     6:30 pm CDT - 7:20 pm CDT
Tuition: $20
Two 50-Minute Workshops
Online via Zoom
We’ll complete the requirements for badge 1 of this series. In our first meeting, well wire a circuit to complete a pressure sensor, explore the sensors on your phone with a free app called Arduino Science Journal, and explore how and why robots are used for many jobs, and touch on what an algorithm is and generate some to to everyday tasks.
In our second session, you’ll program a virtual robot using Scratch. Scratch is a
program developed at MIT to introduce students ages 8-16 to programming. Students will need to sign up for a few Scratch account before class so they can save their progress.
This will complete the requirements for the badge.  The badge is not included.

  •  06/10/2021
     4:30 pm CDT - 5:20 pm CDT
Online, Live event
Class Max: 8
Tuition: $20 for 3 50-minutes sessions
Join us for 3 one-hour sessions for an introduction to programming in Python. We’ll explore concepts like loops, variables, and functions as you complete some fun programming challenges like programming cool spirals.
If you decide you love coding, Mr Zak offers more Python classes, so you can continue learning.
You’ll need to download and install Python before this class. Here is a link to a video to help you with that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b58srFXbjjA&t=21s
It is not difficult, but it requires a bit of time depending on your internet or computer speed. We recommend doing it as soon as you sign up for class so you have plenty of time to ask questions.
You do not have to be a Girl Scout to take this workshop. It will meet the requirements for Badge 1 of the Coding for Good badges.
