In our first #CreativeComputingChat of the year, educators from around the world shared resources and reflected on their goals for teaching with Scratch!
This free, interest-driven curriculum includes projects and resources designed specifically for elementary coders and coding educators with little or no coding experience.
Together, Scratch and music have limitless potential for learning and creating! Check out this list of Scratch and Music resources and add your go-to projects, lessons, and activities.
The ScratchEd Team hosted a #ScratchEd Chat on Tuesday, March 28, 2017 on Math and Scratch. Check out the complete archived chat on Storify, as well as the list of resources that participants shared.
This collection of Math+Scratch resources highlights many ways that students build mathematical understanding by building their own projects in Scratch.
This activity connects number theory and geometry. Your challenge: predict the shape that will result from any combination of angle and distance variables.
Students learn basic Scratch programming by designing an avatar that represents them in 3 positive ways & completes a simple action. Taps into students' creativity while introducing programming!
After teaching students some basics (stage, sprites, costumes, loops, movement, ask/answer, broadcast/receive, variables), I challenged them to create their own projects.
