Computer Science Course Winter 2022
Ladybugs Take Flight 2
(MIT Scratch – Intermediate)
Course Description:
In "Ladybugs Take Flight 2", students continue on their journey utilizing the Scratch programming language to develop more complex code sequences for the ladybug characters. Students will relate coding to the game of soccer, learn about producer
