Εισαγωγή
Οι βασικές αρχές του προγραμματισμού διδάσκονται χρησιμοποιώντας το Scratch. Το Scratch είναι μια εκπαιδευτική γλώσσα προγραμματισμού, σχεδιασμένη ως εργαλείο για να διδάξει στα παιδιά τα θεμέλια του προγραμματισμού. Επιτρέπει την εύκολη δημιουργία διαδραστικών ιστοριών, κινούμενων σχεδίων και παιχνιδιών. Ο προγραμματισμός γίνεται οπτικά – τα στοιχεία της γλώσσας έχουν τη μορφή παζλ, τα οποία, όταν τοποθετηθούν σωστά, σχηματίζουν ένα λειτουργικό πρόγραμμα ή παιχνίδι.
Στο δεύτερο μέρος του μαθήματος, οι συμμετέχοντες θα έχουν μια μοναδική ευκαιρία να εξερευνήσουν διάφορες πτυχές του Minecraft από προγραμματιστική σκοπιά. Όλα τα scripts και τα προγράμματα που θα δημιουργηθούν στα μαθήματα θα μεταφέρονται στον πραγματικό κόσμο του Minecraft.
Το επόμενο στάδιο του μαθήματος περιλαμβάνει τον προγραμματισμό εφαρμογών μέσω του App Inventor, όπου δεν προγραμματίζουμε μόνο τη λειτουργικότητα της εφαρμογής, αλλά και σχεδιάζουμε το περιβάλλον διεπαφής της. Ο σχεδιασμός της διεπαφής είναι απλός και οπτικός – διάφορα αντικείμενα (κουμπιά, παράθυρα, εικόνες) τοποθετούνται στην οθόνη του κινητού. Αυτά τα στοιχεία προγραμματίζονται στη συνέχεια με blocks που αντιστοιχούν σε συγκεκριμένες λειτουργίες της εφαρμογής. Το project μπορεί να μεταφορτωθεί ανά πάσα στιγμή και να χρησιμοποιηθεί και μετά τη λήξη των μαθημάτων.
Κατά την διάρκεια του προγράμματος, θα χρησιμοποιήσουμε διάφορα εργαλεία τεχνητής νοημοσύνης (ΑΙ), τα οποία θα μας βοηθήσουν στην εξοικείωση των πιο σύγχρονων τεχνολογιών.

constructor, create a simple sensor, and learn about several effects that add variety
to the gameplay.
11Lesson 11. Minecraft - The Long night
Students practise displaying messages on the screen, build a story-driven gameplay
consisting of several stages and execute a sequence of several codes that run in
succession under specific circumstances. In addition, they incorporate gameplay
settings related to game difficulty, time setting into the code.
12Lesson 12. Minecraft – Jumanji
Students will learn how code blocks work. They will learn the basic operation of the
constructor, create a simple sensor, and learn about several effects that add variety
to the gameplay.
13Lesson 13. Minecraft - Repetition lesson
As part of the repetition lesson, students repeat and consolidate the knowledge
acquired in the previous lessons. The content of the tasks to be completed can be
found in the file attached to the project.
14Lesson 14. Travelers of the imagination part 1
In this class, we will learn about AI tools for generating images and then use them to
prepare a unique adventure game! Each student will play the role of an Imaginary
Traveller, whose task will be to collect the objects necessary for the journey ahead.
15Lesson 15. Travelers of the imagination part 2
In class, we continue to work on the ‘Travellers of the Imagination’ project.
As with the previous classes, there are additional tools at the end of the handout. You
can use them if you have more time left at the end of the class.
16Lesson 16. Scratch MLK – Face Filters
In this class we will develop an application with our own face filters! We will use the
Scratch ML platform, a combination of classic Scratch with elements of machine
learning (Machine Learning, or ML for short).
17Lesson 17. Scratch MLK – What’s That Melody?
In this class we will create our own version of the ‘What's the tune?’ quiz. How well
do you know music? Today you will be able to test your knowledge! We will use the
Scratch ML platform to prepare the quiz and learn about a new extension – Spotify.
18Lesson 18. Gigant Dash Part 1
In this class we will create our own version of the popular game Geometry Dash. The
project is planned for two lessons.
19Lesson 19. Scratch – Giant Dash Part II
