Scratch Programming Class
Fall 2024 Session
Sunday, September 22 @ 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm CDT
Exercise your creativity and have fun learning computer programming!
Class participants will learn computer programming fundamentals while making their own interactive art, animated stories, or games using Scratch, a programming language specially designed for teaching. For kids aged 9–13 interested in problem-solving/figuring out how to do stuff—no prior programming experience necessary.
Parents may accompany their child to the class or stay in the building to visit exhibits with a younger sibling. Learn more about Scratch.
This class is taught by UW Service Learning students from the Computer Sciences department.
Fee: $80 for the 11-session class; MCM members receive 10% off. Fee includes museum admission for the participant child, plus a parent or guardian, and up to one younger non-participant sibling.
Supplies: Children must supply their own laptop, chromebook, or tablet to work on. (A phone is too small.)
MCM laptops and class scholarships are available for students who need them, please email kkarlen@madisonchildrensmuseum for information on scholarships and laptops.
Class dates: Sundays, September 22–December 8, 2:30-3:30 pm. No class on December 1 (closed for Thanksgiving weekend.)
Be sure to read our refund and cancellation policy.
