Dear Parents,

 

St. Stephen's Community Church is excited to announce that ITEC - the Information Technology Empowerment Center - will offer a five week, after-school class for Sixth through Eighth grade students in our new Community Learning Center beginning Tuesday, November 3rd.  This is a limited enrollment class (20 students) and pre-registration is required.

 

Using a new programming language called Scratch, ITEC is offering this innovative and fun course to help students become skilled in advanced computer technology through interactive storytelling and games.  Designed by educational and technology experts, the curriculum uses playful learning experiences.  With Scratch, students easily create their own responsive stories, animations, games, music and art - and can even share their creations on the web.

 

Collaborating with ITEC are faculty from Michigan State University.  Their goal is not only to enable students to create their own stories and animations, but also to help them understand the fun and science behind the technology of programming.  The result will be exciting projects that are generated by the students' own ideas, interests and passions.

 

Scratch is designed to stimulate young people (ages 8 and up) to develop 21st century learning skills and technical comprehension.  As they create and share Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.

 

The Tuesday ITEC/SSCC classes will be held from 3:30-4:45 for five weeks beginning November 3rd in the CLC (Mobile Unit Two).  Snacks will be served from 3:00-3:30 in Mobile Unit One.  Open Lab time will be available to the Scratch students until 6:00 pm.
 

If you are interested in enrolling your son or daughter, please contact the SSCC church office.
