A little closer

Take a closer look at how Scratch works by viewing community creations.

In this session, students are introduced to computational creation with the Scratch programming environment by viewing a collection of sample projects and engaging in an exploratory, hands-on experience.

Objectives

The students will:

understand the concept of computational creation, in the context of Scratch
be able to imagine possibilities for their own Scratch-based computational creation
become familiar with resources that support their computational creation
Session activities summary
Introduce the concept of computational creation and the Scratch environment
Show sample Scratch projects
Review design processes
