🐝2026 🍁FALL Session 1🍁 GameBOT Classes
This quarter, students in Grades 2-5 may sign up for either the Tuesday or Friday session.
Wanna make video games? Love building with LEGO® bricks? This club is for you. Learn how to create video games using Scratch, free software from MIT that you can use at home long after the class. Then, we’ll bring the action to life as we build and program LEGO® mini robots. If you’ve taken this course before, don’t worry! We explore different themes and make different games and robots each time. Parents, after registering your child, please update PikMyKid, and read the Scratch Account message below.

Scratch Account
Scratch is free software from MIT designed to help students learn to code. The online version allows students to share projects and ideas and learn from each other. A recent change in Ohio law requires schools to get permission from parents for students to use online software with this type of communication function. Due to this requirement, many schools have blocked Scratch on their networks and Chromebooks.
When this is the case, we use an offline version of Scratch in class. This offline version is also free for you to download.
To save your child’s game you may either:
1. Send in a flash drive. Download the offline version of Scratch to a non-school computer at home.
2. Create a free online Scratch account for your child and send us the login to upload their game to their cloud account from our office. They will be able to access it from any non-school computer with internet.
A parent letter explaining both options with instructions is available here: https://www.gigalearnit.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Scratch-Instructions-Updated.pdf
