Creative coding with SCRATCH
Class - Digital Art | Available
This playful, project-based workshop introduces young students to the world of coding in a fun and accessible way using Scratch. Over the course of 4 weeks, this course helps students build their own games, interactive stories, and animations while learning key problem-solving and logic skills. Through live demonstrations and guided activities, students will explore how to move characters, create sound effects, and design their own interactive projects. The beauty of Scratch is its flexibility—students can bring their own ideas, create custom characters, and remix their projects as they grow. Along the way, they'll develop creative confidence and coding fluency in a supportive, step-by-step environment. Students will leave the workshop with completed projects they can proudly share with friends and family. Both classes will be held in person at Sawtooth School. Ages: 10 - Teen.

I graduated from High Point University in Fall 2024 with a Bachelor’s degree in Game Design, and I’m actively pursuing Master’s in the same field. Outside of work, I love 3D modeling, baking, and playing games with friends. I recently started my own company, Del Sol Games, where I focus mainly on 3D modeling, and I’m also working on my first solo game.
When I teach 3D modeling or creative coding, I believe in giving students the foundations they need and then letting them run with their own ideas. What fun is an art or coding class if all we’re doing is making clones of what I make? My goal is to help students take what they’ve learned and use it to create something that’s completely their own.
