Scratch

Scratch is designed with learning and education in mind.

As young people create projects in Scratch, they learn many of the 21st century skills that will be critical to success in the future: thinking creatively, communicating clearly, analyzing systematically, using technologies fluently, collaborating effectively, designing iteratively, learning continuously.

Getting Started

 

 

A step-by-step guide to getting started with Scratch Quickly.

(For students who did Squeak Last year and understand a bit of programing)

 

Step1: Watch the intro Scratch Video at the top of the page

 

Step 2 Review simple foreard positive numbers, backward negetativenumbers, and turn commands. These are like the commands we used in LOGO, and with the Roamer Robot. A series of introductory lessons below will get you scratching the surface of programming.

 

Introductory Lessons

Please work though these introductory lessons even if you are already programming in Scratch.

Step 3: Let's take apart a program and see how it works- How can you change the program by making simple changes in the parameters?

 

Sample Projects

  • Simple bat and ball game.
  • Dog and Crab - a simple game where one sprite chases another sprite or needs to avoid obstacles.
  • A drawing application.
  • Fish! - A more complex game involving scoring.

 

Step 4  Watch the Whirl effect video from the site. Add the whirl effect to a mpvement sequence 

 

Step 5 Let your imagination run wild and create
