Summer Courses: Online Programming Class for Middle School and High School

Our summer short courses in programming offers beginning programming students of any age the opportunity to learn the rudiments of programming and web design. These courses are offered in alternate years.

SCRATCH

In the SCRATCH course, students use executable program blocks to create interactive animations and games using the browser-based SCRATCH interface from MIT's Lifelong Kindergarten Group. The SCRATCH environment emphasizes development of fundamental computational thinking skills, including abstraction, using algorithms, decomposing problems into parts, recognizing patterns, and generalizing solutions to cover a range of similar problems. Students learn to plan a sequence of actions, use loops and processes controlled by fixed and variable conditions, create parallel activities for multiple "sprites", respond to user-initiated events, and develop skills in problem analysis and resolution, fondly known as "debugging techniques".

HTML

In the HTML course, students learn the fundaments of HTML website design and manipulation of basic tags to create a website with several pages and multimedia elements. While the course uses a simple texteditor to create basic HTML elements and CSS support files, students will understand how to customize web pages created with more advanced web design or blog tools.

Scholars Online is fully accredited through the Middle States Accreditation Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools.
