You will need to put together an 9-12 week lesson plan for your kids with your team. You should look at the calendar to count the number of weeks for your club:

You'll see that our usual pattern for Catapult clubs is:

1 week: Introduction and Overview

2-3 weeks: Art (cover pen tools, stamps, sequential code, multiple scripts, forever loops, x-y coordinates)

2-3 weeks: Interactive Stories (cover if statements, multiple sprites, broadcasts)

2-3 weeks: Games (cover variables and more complex loops)

2-3 weeks: Work on Own Project

To keep you coordinated with other CS 402 students and help you share material, we recommend following the lesson plan outlined in the documents in one of these two directories:

Fall 2017: Out In Space
Start with the Overview Document called Scratch: Out in Space

The suggested lesson plans the sites may have used last year are available here; don't repeat these lessons in Fall'22!

Spring'22: Theme "Around the World with Scratch" https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8EX3AePSogBT3BjZW82c2xMdUk?resourcekey=0-FgUWo9Sty--PEjKirf55bw&usp=sharing
Fall'21 (and Sp'17) Under the Sea: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8EX3AePSogBS0RWbk1IVktIQ0E?resourcekey=0-FRlEzw1DY9JHIQ954DHFgA&usp=sharing Start with the Overview Document called 12 Week Lesson Plan for Under the Sea

There are also some Advanced Lessons here:

This Scratch account has many well-done advanced projects suitable for this age group: https://scratch.mit.edu/users/Ironbizmark

Adventure/Maze game (good for Intermediate)

Lesson 7-Advernture.doc Download Lesson 7-Advernture.doc

Good Advanced Topics:

Lists (high score board), Clones, Creating new blocks, Global vs. Per-Sprite variables

Good Advanced Projects:

Maze games, platform games; many kids want to do side-scrolling games but get confused and frustrated

Other Scratch Resources

Researchers at Harvard created Scratch Ed which has multiple useful resources:

In particular, they have an extensive and detailed multi-week curriculum guide of possible Scratch activities.

I also like their Getting Unstuck: 21 Creative Scratch Challenges:

Finally, you might be interested in the official Scratch Tutorials, Activity Guides, Coding Cards, and Starter Projects:

Inspirational and Educational CS Videos

https://code.org/educate/resources/videos

Previous CS 402 students evaluated those videos (details here) and particularly liked the following:

What Makes a Computer, a Computer? https://youtu.be/mCq8-xTH7jA

5 minutes

Beginner (good for Scratch club)

Introduced to how and why computers are helpful tools in everyday life, and that computers are more than the typical laptop or desktop machines

What is the internet? https://youtu.be/Dxcc6ycZ73M

3:45

intro level, any age

who invent the internet, who controls it, and some general infomation of how the internet works

Chris Bosh explains FUNCTIONS https://youtu.be/8T5acEwfJbw

1 min

Intro level, any age

The video talks about functions on a conceptual level and relates computer functions to basketball moves which I thought was cool. I think this would work well for kids who are into basketball and know who Chris Bosh is.
