Scratch Programming

Course Overview:
This course introduces learners to the basics of “Scratch Programming Language”. Scratch is a beginner-friendly programming language that allows students to create interactive stories, games, and animations. Scratch promotes computational thinking and problem solving skills; creative teaching and learning; self-expression and collaboration; and equity in computing. Throughout the course, students will learn programming through hands-on activities using Scratch. It is a coding language with a simple visual that allows creation of stories, animations and games in a collaborative way.  With Scratch, children can program their own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share the creations with others in the online community.
