In this activity, participants create their own dance party using Scratch.

Attached below is a .pdf handout of the activity, an editable .ai version, and a sample project.

We love how fun this activity is when participants work collaboratively in pairs or groups. To see the activity in action, check out this video of a workshop held at MIT for high school and undergraduate girls, which illustrates using the dance party project in conjunction with a pass-it-on activity. Or you can read one educator's story about a mentorship-themed dance party for elementary and high school students and view their dance party projects.
