Abram Agnew Weekly Report (2/7/25)

Hi Eagles!

        After the winter break, we reviewed key concepts of coding in Scratch, such as the elements of the stage, sprites, and the functionalities of the various blocks. We also reviewed the past games we created and how to improve the code organization and readability. For a week, the students’ task was to brainstorm and create new and imaginative ways to add features to the basic games that were taught.The third game we worked on was called the Jumping Game. In this game, students learned how to simulate the jumping effect through code and how to think of different ways to create levels and various obstacles. After working on understanding the code for a couple weeks, the students were ready for their next task: a project of their own! They formed groups and began brainstorming and planning out their code. We’re going to be working together on this for another couple weeks and then they will present and explain their code in front of the class. I can’t wait to see what they all come up with!
