While the Scratch language is fairly easy to use, fun, and addictive, the language is special for two main reasons:
1. Scratch encourages kids to learn then take risks to adapt what they’ve done.
2. While not everyone wants to be a programmer, everyone benefits from projects that teach creative problem solving.
The ability to imagine, create, play, and reflect are critical skills for young kids. At the conclusion of the sessions, students compile their work to create their own game they can publish and share.
The student needs to have his/her Computer (Mac or Window) to Create your scratch account before the first class.
