Introduction

Welcome to this course STEAM machines! We’ve related the lessons to subject areas within the National Curriculum, and each lesson combines STEM subjects with Arts experiences. The course is taught using Scratch, which is a completely free, versatile, block-based coding programme developed by the MIT. It is very user-friendly and we’ve been inspired by the music which we’ve incorporated into each of these STEAM experiences. This course is suitable for years 3 and 4 (lower key-stage 2), and each comes with additional teaching materials, scratch patches, a homework, and a lesson plan.
