Week 10: Preparing for Final Projects

1. Sit with your club co-leaders
2. Ice breaker
   1. Discuss with person not from your club: What are you struggling with most at your club -- with your students, with your team, or with your own mindset or situation?   What suggestions does the other person have for addressing these challenges?  
   2. Repeat with someone else
   3. Go to one of 8 whiteboards (away from your club) and discuss:  What are the characteristics of a good final project for the kids at your club?  What will a good final project look like?  What range of blocks or concepts will it use?  How complex will it be (e.g, how many sprites, costumes, scripts)?  Put thoughts on shared whiteboard.
3. Project guidelines: Week 10 Links to an external site.
4. Work Time
   1. What would you create for a final project in Scratch?  Give yourselves about 45 minutes to create something in Scratch (45 minutes might be equivalent to what your students could complete in 3 hours -- I'm guessing).

      Create a new Scratch project that you could use to motivate the final project for your kids in your club or something to teach your "advanced/returning" kids.

      The Scratch project should be something more advanced than the basic 9 Scratch lessons you implemented at the beginning of the semester, and different than any of the lessons you taught the kids or will teach the kids.

      Just implement something interesting that gives you more time to explore what can be done in Scratch.  Feel free to talk about your Scratch project with your neighbors...

      Do not remix any existing projects!

      To submit (before class next week):
      1) Share it on your Scratch homepage
      2) Place it in this studio: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/5630297 Links to an external site.
      3) Submit in Canvas the Scratch website URL for your project.

   2. Finish up your mid-semester portfolio with your team.
   3.  Meet with your team to prepare for your next club...
