Program
Scratch Juniors
Six lessons exploring the Scratch programming environment — from the first sprite to a finished game and showcase.
Students explore the Scratch programming environment and become familiar with its main features — navigating the workspace and identifying sprites, the stage, the block palette and the coding area. From there they build interactive animations, games and projects of their own.
