Learning Guide

We've created a short guide to get you started on your manifesto! Feel free to print, share or remix it— this process is for you, so take what you need and leave the rest! You can download these files as PDFs also. 

After you make your manifesto, we invite you to share it with us on Twitter (@ScratchEdTeam) or Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/TeachingwithScratch/)  with #creativecomputing
