1. Greet members at the door as they arrive. 6. Recap and review the last club activity: Fashion Story. (Show script)
2. Ask members to pick up their passports, then sit at an empty computer and log in. Hi [name]. Welcome back! (Show script)
3. Once all members are seated and logging in to their computers, privately ask members who are sitting alone to move to a computer near other members. Everyone please pick up your passports and go to a computer. Sign in to CS First and Scratch. Once you have logged in, please turn off your monitors. (Show script)
4. Use the silent signal to get member attention. Hi [name]. Today you’re going to need to be sitting near others to work on this project. Would you mind moving to a seat where you’ll be able to interact with other club members? (Show script)
5. Have all members turn off monitors and remove headphones before starting. It is important that you enforce this rule or members will use the computers instead of interacting. [Silent signal] I need everyone’s attention up here, please. (Show script) Everyone please turn off your monitors, so we can begin the introduction [wait for all members to turn off monitors]. (Show script) 7. Introduce this activity's CS concept: loops. Will someone please raise their hand and remind me what we did in our last club session? Possible response: Last club session we signed into Scratch and told a Fashion Story. (Show script) 8. Introduce showcase selector. For this activity, you will create a fashion show. Can someone please raise their hand, and tell us what kind of things happen in a fashion show? (Sample answer: models showcase a designer's clothes.) Today's activity will introduce an important computer science concept: loops. Loops are used to repeat a set of instructions over and over. Both computer scientists and fashion designers use loops. (Show script) At the end of this activity, and for each activity after that, we will select 2 projects to showcase on the projector at the beginning of the following club. So the project that you create for this activity could be showcased to everyone next club! Are there any questions about the showcase selection? [wait for questions] |
