Here is an example of an animation with elements like “Supermoon”, “Wolf “, and “Howling Sound” done by a 6 year old . The project took couple of hours to complete, from coming up with an idea, planning the elements to include in the video and then writing assembling the code. This project is a good example of integration STEM and Arts.
(P.S. Turn down the volume as the howling might get too loud 🙂 )
Example #2 – Space Tour of our Solar System
Kids will learn to code with fun hands-on projects.
They will learn to program their own characters, animations, sounds and special effects using kid-friendly Scratch™
technology developed by MIT. Children will come up with their own video or game idea, code it, and even publish it to
the web for all of their friends to play.
