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.
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 activity connects number theory and geometry. Your challenge: predict the shape that will result from any combination of angle and distance variables.
UPDATED: These challenges are now on a website. This is a set of Scratch challenges that scaffold students learning of the basic concepts of Scratch and programming in a fun way.
From the Creative Computing educator workshop, a compilation of presentations, activities, and handouts for cultivating computational thinking and computational creativity in your classroom.
In this lesson you will build a gravity system that can be used in video games. When a character jumps, they will move in the air 10 spaces then gravity will pull them back to the ground
Media MashUp is designed to support the ability of informal educators to use Scratch and other rich media tools to offer compelling opportunities that engage youth in the art of digital creation.
A set of activities in which students have all of the "pieces" of the code and they have to figure out how to assemble them to get the program to do the described task.
