Scratch Music Jam
One 1-Hour Session
Music and code aren’t related, right? No, wrong! You might not realize many of your favorite music producers today produce music on their computers. Some music producers even learn coding to improve their production abilities. Now, what if we could use music to teach coding?
In this one hour session, we will use Scratch to create a fully working virtual music band. Students will have the capability to add their own favourite musical instruments and students then use they keyboard and mouse to play those instruments. They could even start their own music band and release singles, right on their home computers!
Eligibility:
- Ages 8 – 12
- Only for elementary students; students who are currently in any Scratch course
Python Avatar
One 1-Hour Session
Kids today love expressing themselves with avatars, bitmojis, and animojis. They are a fun digital way to show people who you are. Kids spend hours choosing their avatar because it’s important to them. Instead of using an avatar builder, why not create an avatar using code? Spend that same amount of time tinkering with code. During this one hour session, students can learn to code their own avatar and have fun at the same time.

Python Which Superhero Are You?
One 1-Hour Session
As a kid, we all wish to be a superhero. We wish we had some superpowers like the heroes we see on screen. While we don’t have the ability to fly or shoot lasers yet, we can learn to code as our superpower. Being able to code is being about to create and design your own world. In this session, we learn basic Python programming skills while creating a simple, but fun, game.

HTML/CSS Personal Portfolio Website
One 1-Hour Session

In this session, we will explore this feature and set up a portfolio page in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with links to all of the amazing projects they did.
