ABOUT

Mini Maven is a weekly after-school club for 4th & 5th graders that identify as girls. It is a visual, creative way to learn Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math. Members (Mini Mavens) will learn to use computer science to impact their community & join a sisterhood of supportive peers and role models in computer science by learning to code a Scratch game or application that will be launched for family & friends. Mini Maven is a privately funded project of Jennifer Oswalt Kneese, owner of Marketing Maven. It is based on several existing projects, including Girls Who Code and Google’s Made with Code. It uses visual block programming curriculum developed by MIT for early learners. Learn more about the Mini Maven after-school club here: bit.do/MiniMavens To sponsor a child or support this program, please contact Jehnny at [email protected].

The Organizer

Jehnny was born on the Gulf Coast of Texas & raised all her life in San Marcos, she graduated from SMHS in the top 10% of her class with a purple and white drum majorette skirt. After attending Texas Tech in Lubbock for digital communication design, she lived in the heart of Austin, Texas before moving back to her hometown of San Marcos. Her interest in computer science began in the days of dial up modems and the popularity of AOL. As a kid she’d hang out with her dad, who liked to take apart computers when he wasn’t putting out literal fires as an Austin Fire Fighter. Her Mom, a retired SMCISD Special Education administrator, was instrumental in making her believe she could do anything. Between the two of them—they unknowingly instilled the passion and skills needed to be successful as technology, and especially, the internet exploded in popularity. Unfortunately, like so many girls still today, she believed for most of her formative years that she was terrible as math and computer science wasn’t her thing. She preferred to call herself an artist, focusing on designing web sites for local businesses, artists, bands and her friends, completely discrediting her aptitude for coding in doing so. In 2010 she was offered role working for the Hays Caldwell Women’s Center that changed her life. As their Technology & Data Coordinator she became more comfortable with her technical side, and even empowered. She went on to work for Dell in Round Rock for 4 years as a senior analyst for their global marketing operations team. In this position she saw how perfect creativity and technology go hand and hand. In between it all, she owned a 1971 Airstream Pizza Trailer at the Hitch—a dream that taught her that failure is ok, because at least she tried. She has since left her role at Dell and opened her own digital marketing agency that uses her personal experiences, professional experiences to provide budget friendly consulting, training and services to local businesses in the community. She is certified in age appropriate computer science education for K-5 students.

Mission Statement The Mini Maven after-school club aims to increase the presence of women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields. We do this by providing customized curriculum for elementary students that identify as girls. This customization allows creativity, expression, story-telling and focuses on visual teaching, social groups, and strengthening confidence and improving attitudes toward STEM topics, equipping them with key skills and resources needed for success in STEM fields, and encouraging the pursuit of STEM-centric careers and studies as they leave elementary school.

SCHEDULE The Mini Maven after school coding club meets once a week on Thursdays from 3pm – 5:30 pm from October 6th – December 15th. We follow the SMCISD district calendar, holidays and any bad weather days.

CURRICUUM

Projects Animation An animation project is a project that is an animation, short movie (often humorous), or music video. Animation can involve programming sprites to talk and interact. Sometimes, programmers may use animations as tutorials to show others how to do something. Others animations may be humorous, silly, etc. You can create animations in the Project Editor on Scratch. 3D Animation

This is a special kind of Stop Motion Animation, made by importing many frames of a 3D object made with a 3D creation application like Blender or Google Sketchup, and running them in quick succession in Scratch to give a 3D rotation effect.

AMV

A music video's title screen. Main article: Music Projects#AMV

AMV stands for "Animated Music Video." Usually these are projects that features a main sprite singing or interacting in a song uploaded from your device. AMVs also can contain features as sprites moving their mouth with the song and animations.

Barrier Grid Animation

An example image from a barrier grid animation.

This type of animation is uncommon. They usually consist of two sprites, a frame and an image. The frame is a black rectangle with single-pixel strips every 5 pixels along its width. The image is actually a composition of many frames of a simple animation, made by extracting single-pixel strips and laying them in order. When the frame is dragged over the image, only the strips of one frame are visible (through the holes in the frame) at a time; thus the image appears to move.

Claymation Animation

These are created by repeatedly taking pictures of a clay sculpture, changing it minimally each time, so that when the pictures are played in quick succession, the sculpture appears to move. These are hard to make and thus not very popular. They also usually have very large file sizes.

Stop Motion

Stop motion animation is less common on Scratch than animation programming, but also widely used. In a stop motion animation, pictures are taken or scenes are drawn, and then put together using scripts like these. This style requires uploading photos from your picture-taking device and putting them into frames. These do not often get famous, though they require much more work to create (as each frame needs to be drawn individually in the case of a drawn stop motion).

Speedpaint

This involves an animation of a piece of art being drawn over time. To do this, the artist will draw the very small part of the art, duplicate the costume, continue but draw a little bit, and repeat until the art is done. Speedpaints are often time-consuming and require hundreds of costumes to be reproduced.

Sprite animation

These animations are like normal animations, except they use pre-existing sprites from video games, usually 8-bit ones. Popular sprites include characters from Mario, Sonic the

Page 7: Student & Parent Handbook · video. Animation can involve programming sprites to talk and interact. Sometimes, programmers may use animations as tutorials to show others how to do

Hedgehog, and Pokemon. Despite being popular in the 1.4 days, they have declined since the release of Scratch 2.0.

Examples General animations

• Complications of Synchronized Diving by PrincessPandaLover • Bricks by Hobson-TV • BE THE PIRATE Spoof #4 by Silvershimmer43

Sprite animations

• Beautiful Girl! by FuzzFerretTM (uses Sonic the Hedgehog sprites)

Games Scroller

Scrollers are a kind of project where the background and objects "scroll", or move along the screen, when being scrolled up, or down. Usually, the player will stay on the same X coordinate, but often a "jumping feature" will allow the player to change their Y coordinate, upon a keyboard interaction. These projects commonly have an opposing AI, often called "enemies", and platforms, in which allows the player to travel upwards, or downwards depending on the elevation of the platform.

Platformer

A more commonly used type of game, platformers are games where you "jump" along the Y coordinate, or travel upwards on platforms to achieve a particular goal, often sending the user to the next "level" of gameplay. Some platformers also take on the aspect of scrollers.

RPG RPG Projects are games where the user is sent to fight pieces of opposing AI, or "enemies", with preset actions to take, or "attacks" as they are commonly put. Often, one will have "companions" that will help during one of the stages of attacks.

Tycoon The goal of tycoon games is to get as much "money" or whatever currency is described in that particular game as possible. You are usually required to buy upgrades, to advance as to get more money.

Maze

Mazes are a common form of game type projects, as they tend to be particularly easy to program. A common form of maze creation involves barriers in which if come in contact with another sprite, will send that particular sprite being controlled by the user, to the beginning of that stage of game-play. Other variations simply do not let the user go through the walls.

Music & Dance

A music project is a project that is based or centered upon music. They can involve music generated by the Scratch program, music files that are imported into the project or music recorded with the Scratch program.

Projects that have a song or piece of music playing in the background of a game are not considered as music projects. Popular forms of music projects are interactive instruments, music videos, and games where you have to strike, hit, or play notes in a sequence to play a song (known as a rhythm game). Other forms of music project may involve videos or recordings of Scratchers performing a piece of music, or a video or recording of another musician or artist. Some significantly less common types of music project involve music theory or tuning.

Interactive Instruments

There are many different instruments that Scratchers choose to make a project on. They range from the piano to the drums to the trumpet. Sounds can be generated by the

Page 9: Student & Parent Handbook · video. Animation can involve programming sprites to talk and interact. Sometimes, programmers may use animations as tutorials to show others how to do

Scratch program, which allows the user to change the instrument. Currently, there are 21 different instrument timbres that can be used. Alternatively, for a more realistic sound, Scratchers can record themselves with the microphone in the Scratch program.

• Radioactive AMV by kittymitty6868 • Paralyzed AMV by forever- • What a Wonderful World by Awesomator8859

AMV

AMV stands for "Animated Music Video." These are animations that play music, and animate accordingly with somewhat relation to the lyrics and tune of the song played. They are very popular across the site and often reach the front page.

Recordings

Recordings vary in style and genre: they can be vocal, instrumental, pop or classical. These are also called "covers".[1][2]

• Proof Recording (on violin) by Wolfshadow11 • On my Own Cover by ZaharaMar • ~ You're Gonna Miss Me ~ by 4LeafClovR

Music from Games, Movies, or TV shows

Some projects recreate music from games, movies, or TV shows. This can be done by using sound blocks, or by using a recording or video. This type of music project is not to be confused with game projects that simply have music playing in the background.

• FF1 battle music by death eater • Sonic Colors Soundtrack by PrincessPandaLover • Super Mario 64: The Soundtrack by PikmanDude

Reverse Music

Some projects play existing songs in reverse, often made for amusement and humor. This is made with the Sound Editor.

• Phineas and Ferb theme song...backwards! by mathfreak231

• Spongebob theme song BACKWORDS?! by Wolffeather • Labyrinth Zone - Sonic 1 Reversed by gumcraft8

Self-Composed Music

Chords can be created by playing two or more of these scripts at the same time!

Some Scratchers compose their own music and release it on Scratch. Music can be created in a digital program, or can even be a recording.

• Bad Music #2 - SYNTHS! by P110 • Some Music I Composed by Superdoggy • Death Waltz by HaimingRMX • PPL Single: Step On It! by PrincessPandaLover

Scratchblock-made music

Some users prefer to make music in Scratch by taking advantage of its sound blocks. Users can build scripts with music blocks and have it play in sequence, or have two sets of these scripts play at the same time to create chords.

Stories A story project is a project in which a story is told. These can range from interactive stories, where users make their own story, to talk shows, where animated characters talk to each other. They are rare as they often fall into the animation category Interactive Stories

These are projects where a user is presented with a variety of options. When they choose one, the story will progress. This gives the user the ability to 'make their own story.' Interactive projects are also called "Choose Your Adventure" projects. These projects tend to take a little more time than other story projects because a dialogue tree has to be constructed and every possible scenario needs to be programmed. To do that, these blocks are commonly used:

An interactive story made in the Collab Camp

The Collab Camp did a section on interactive stories that you can view here.

Sometimes, an interactive story will suggest users to comment suggestions for what will happen next. They're also known as "collaborative story projects".

• Choose Your Own Adventure by pokemongardevoir • That's Good, That's Bad...CLOSED by MoreBetter • The Adventure of the Golden Block by lilacfuzz101

Talk Shows In these projects, two or more sprites talk to each other using text or programmed speech bubbles with the Say block. These story projects are common because they are easy for a new Scratcher to program.

A very common block used in these projects is the Broadcast block. It is used to let each 'character' know when it's their turn to 'talk'.

Books/Short Stories

These are projects where the creator types up their own story/short story for other user's to read. These can be super long, or super short. They can have music or sound effects, but

they don't need them. Generally, the story is typed up in backdrop(s) or sprite(s). A common script used to change the pages with the arrow keys is:

A Short Story cover example.

• Pause (A Sort Story by Elephants4Ever • Abnormal- a short story by cbear112 • The Broken Protection by Blackswift

Written text in Notes and Credits

Some story projects base the story as written text in the Notes and Credits. This is the simplest type of a story project as it only uses typed text to tell a story. Most projects of this type use a piece of art that goes along with the story.

• Attack on Cinderella-AOT Strange FanFiction by Dogwhisperer11 • Pokemon Topaz part 7 by Dogwhisperer11 • Family Forever: Generations by SilverAndKaylee15

Interactive Art An art project is a project that has the primary purpose of displaying artwork, either interactive or not; they are sometimes called "Art Dumps".[1] If the project is very interactive or a series of frames, it is usually referred to as an animation. Art projects are never discouraged by the Scratch Team, as Scratch is not only about programming but also expressing creativity in any way, even artistically. Art projects will often have less programming, will only play music besides showing and switching artwork, and are sometimes a still image with no scripts at all.

FAQs

DOES MY KID HAVE TO BE A CROCKETT ELEMENTARY STUDENT? Yes, and no. We are only advertising this to Crockett Elementary students because Jehnny’s girls go to school there. However, in the event this does not sell out or is not full & there are spots still available, you can register & enroll your student regardless of what elementary school they are at as long as they are in 4th or 5th grade.

IS THIS FOR GIRLS ONLY? This is another yes & no answer. Yes, this program is specifically designed with students that identify as girls. Women in the workforce are disproportionately represented in technology fields despite being incredibly interested in math & science as children. The goal of this club is to keep girls interested in science, math & learning by showing them how it relates to their current interests. This does not mean boys are excluded. Boys that love story based learning and creative collaboration are more than welcome as long as they are respectful & encouraging to girls that code.

WHAT PROGRAM ARE YOU USING AND WHAT LANGUAGE ARE YOU TEACHING? We are using MIT’s online based learning lab Scratch. Scratch teaches a visual block language (drop & drag, what you see is what you get) to not intimidate

Page 18: Student & Parent Handbook · video. Animation can involve programming sprites to talk and interact. Sometimes, programmers may use animations as tutorials to show others how to do

with typing and syntax for elementary & just teach the elements & logic of programming to early learners. This lays the foundation for girls to leave elementary school ready to learn JavaScript & Python.

CAN I VOLUNTEER DURING THE CLASSES? You are more than welcome to join us as a parent observer if you are already in Crockett Elementary’s approved database of guests. We ask that parents allow their kids to work autonomously in their group of peers & keep questions/interruptions to a minimum. Enrollment is limited to 12 max so each student is given individual instructor attention.

WHERE/HOW DO I PICK UP MY KID? Students will be lined up on the sidewalk outside the entrance of Crockett at 5:30p sharp for pickup & released to parents with pick up passes (your car hanger or pink slip that you use to pick up your child regularly is sufficient). For the safety of students, this pick up pass must be presented before your child will be released to you. If you have lost this pass please contact [email protected] immediately. If you arrive after 5:45p you will be charged a late pickup fee of $25.

WHAT DOES MY STUDENT NEED TO PROVIDE? Nothing! We have full access to the Crockett Computer Lab and workbooks & materials will be provided for them!

WHAT DO YOU PROVIDE? We provide 30 minutes of healthy snack & homework time between 3:00 – 3:30p. Club T-shirt, workbooks, materials, software & Wi-Fi access are also provided.

WHERE CAN I CONTACT THE ORGANIZER WITH ANY QUESTIONS? You can contact Jehnny by email: [email protected] OR on her cell phone: (512) 270-0902 Tip: Send a text rather than leaving a voicemail for fastest response! :)

Page 19: Student & Parent Handbook · video. Animation can involve programming sprites to talk and interact. Sometimes, programmers may use animations as tutorials to show others how to do

DO I HAVE TO PAY THE FULL TUITION BY THE FIRST CLASS? No, but you do need to pay your registration fee to reserve a spot. If you have not paid registration & show up on October 6th, we cannot guarantee your child has a seat. Registration MUST be paid annually. Tuition can be paid in full at the beginning of the semester, or arrangements for a per class payment plan can be made with approval in writing to fit your budget. Contact [email protected] for more information on payment arrangements, plans, scholarships or any questions about the process.

DO I HAVE TO BRING CONFIRMATION OF REGISTRATION & TUITION PAYMENT TO THE FIRST CLASS? No, we have your information & your student’s name will be added to a list with the front desk at Crockett so they will go directly to the club after school. Please keep your email confirmation for your records though.

IN THE EVENT MY STUDENT IS SICK OR MISSES A CLASS, DO YOU OFFER MAKE-UP DATES? No, we are unable to offer make-up dates so it is up to the student to make up what they missed on their own time before the next class. Please get with another Mini Maven student or parent to get your child up to speed on what was missed and reference your parent handbook for the lesson plan from that class. In the event your child is going to be absent, please email [email protected] as soon as you can.

WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY? Tuition refunds will be prorated for voluntary withdrawal. In the event the class is canceled, rescheduled or otherwise moved due to enrollment or availability issues– you will be offered a full refund minus registration fee. Registration fees are non-refundable regardless of voluntary or involuntary withdrawal.

DO YOU OFFER OTHER CLASSES FOR CONTINUING TO LEARN HOW TO CODE? Mini Maven will offer a spring semester class for your student to join as well & hopes to offer an official Girls Who Code club beginning next year at the zoned middle school for Crockett, this will allow Mini Maven inaugural grads to

Page 20: Student & Parent Handbook · video. Animation can involve programming sprites to talk and interact. Sometimes, programmers may use animations as tutorials to show others how to do

continue learning the next level of coding as they move through SMCISD, and cement this model for future students as well. We are also planning on expanding the Mini Maven club to the other elementary schools in the area, pending interest, to follow the same model of growing with the inaugural class.
