Program Instructor: Wendy Single, Fifth Grade Teacher,  Odyssey of the Mind Club Advisor and LEGO Club Advisor at  the Queensbury Intermediate School, and Staff Technology Trainer for Queensbury Union Free School District.

Let’s empower our kids to be critical thinkers! This program will offer a wonderful opportunity for children to utilize this skill!  Using Scratch, a programming language developed by MIT, students will create their own interactive stories and animations.

As young people create their Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas; while also, learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. Students will also explore the basic computer programming behind games like Angry Birds and Plants vs.Zombies, as they explore activities that are a part of the Code.org programming initiative. This exciting program will have kids totally engaged right from the start!
