Accelerated Scratch for Teens (Live online small group classes)

Studies have shown that middle school and early high school students who are new to coding do better by starting with blocked-based programming such as Scratch coding. This compressed series of Scratch classes cover beginner to advanced levels and introduces teens to all of the key coding concepts in just 12 sessions. It builds a strong foundation and prepares them for other advanced computer science courses.

Class Format

• All classes are taught live online by experienced teachers from Create & Learn.
• Each class has up to 3 students, ensuring personal attention for every student.
• Classes meet once a week during the school year. We also offer online virtual camps during the summer and holiday/spring breaks, which meet once a day.
• The full course includes 3 parts/levels, each with 4 sessions
• Each session is 55min long. 
• New classes start every week with a variety of time options to choose from.
• For grades 6 - 9

We recommend students in grades 2-5 who are new to coding take Scratch Ninja Class, which is designed for younger students.

Class Content Details

Students will learn fundamental coding concepts while building fun projects such as animations, stories, and games.  You can also book a free trial class here:

Accelerated Scratch Part 1  (4 sessions, 55min/session)

This class covers most of the foundational computer science and coding concepts Scratch has, such as loops, conditional, variables, and sensing. Students deliver a project in each session ranging from animations and games to graphic designs and storytelling. Students will be challenged to be creative and solve tough problems, while learning deeper computer science concepts.

Accelerated Scratch Part 2  (4 sessions, 55min/session)
This class covers the more advanced coding concepts in Scratch, such as functions and lists, while continuing to explore cool features Scratch has to offer such as cloning. Students will work on a new relatively complex project in each session including animations, games, and storytelling. As with all of our classes, there is lots of focus placed on creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, and fun!

Accelerated Scratch Part 3  (4 sessions, 55min/session)

During the culminating class of the Accelerated Scratch coding series, you will combine all of the coding concepts and Scratch features you've learned into building complex, advanced Scratch projects. Students will practice implementing all the tools from Accelerated Scratch 1 & 2, and have the option to build their very own unique game with guidance from the instructor.
