| 3 | Stage 6, Stage 7, Stage 8 | Students finish voice controls and start Cookie Clicker. |
| 4 | Stage 9, Stage 10, catch-up | Auto-clicking and final app jam polish are complete. |
| 5 | App showcase, rehearsal, parent demo | Students present one favorite app and one design choice. |
Minimum viable finish
A student should leave with at least two working Scratch apps: one sound/voice app and one clicker loop.
Coach triage
- If recording is noisy, let students use short built-in sounds and return to recording later.
- If a student is behind, complete one strong app instead of three unfinished apps.
- If a student is ahead, have them improve labels, button layout, and reset behavior.
Common stuck points
- Students can lose time decorating before blocks work.
- Scratch audio recording may need microphone permission.
- Variables for the clicker must be created for all sprites.
