Hollister 6th grade science teacher Brandy Retasket recently presented a lesson at MSU for the CODERS 2023 professional development session.

Retasket’s engineering and coding lesson focused on creating bug catchers, used with her students during the school year. She explained to other CODERS participants how students utilized a graphic organizer to write out the process they would need to follow, to create the bug catchers before using “Scratch” to design and code a digital insect catcher.

“Scratch” is the world’s largest coding community for children and a coding language with a simple visual interface which allows young people to create digital stories, games and animations.
