  • Sorting:

  • Scratch Middle School (English)

    Teaching basic programming principles such as variables, selection structures, repetition structures, and event handling.

    Scratch is a visual programming language developed at MIT, in order to make it easier to create animations, develop games and other interactive work type projects.

    Through a series of activities and games based on creative thinking, students learn how to apply their mathematical skills and use programming code. At the end of the course, students develop their own video game which will then share with their CTY Greece Online instructor and classmates.

    Prior programming knowledge and skills are not required, though students should be familiar with using an internet browser, and need to have basic computer skills (e.g. cut & past, email attachments, etc.). No book or software purchase is required.

    Superhero Academy

    Save humanity, join the Superhero Academy!

    Much like Superman and Batman, our Superhero Academy students are called upon to complete missions to help save humanity. In this interdisciplinary course, we will form a literary community and utilize disciplines such as technology, chemistry, psychology, literature, art, engineering, and sociology in the fight against crime, and in an effort to protect civilians against evil super-villains. Each mission will help us develop our vocabulary, creativity, critical thinking, and writing and presentation skills. Then, in order to graduate from CTY Greece’s Superhero Academy, we will create our own secret superhero identity, and engage in an original battle against threats of destruction. Superhuman powers, time traveling, tech novelties, architectural marvels, behaviors, motivations and code of ethics come alive, to form unique characters, extraordinary settings and epic stories! 

    Lessons and one-on-one conferences with the instructor will help students create their own mythological universe and help them grow as writers, inventors, storytellers and communicators. Cooperative learning and constructive criticism are key elements of the course, and detailed responses from your instructor and peers will play an essential role in the students’ growth. 

    Learning Objectives:

    • Read, analyze, and discuss works of superhero fiction.
    • Practice writing personal narratives, instructional texts, descriptive articles and opinion pieces.
    • Utilize the tools introduced and skills learned in the course to compose four works of creative writing.
    • Engage in the writing workshop process, editing and revising work based on feedback from the instructor and your peers.
