Scratch — Coding with Blocks 🎨

🧭 Why Scratch?

Scratch is where most coders start. It’s fun, visual, and you can see your ideas come to life instantly — games, animations, music, robots, you name it!

Goal: build your first animation or mini game by the end of class 🎯

💻 Get Started

  1. Go to scratch.mit.edu.
  2. Click Join Scratch to make an account (or sign in if you already have one).
  3. Click Create — the coding studio will open!

🎮 Your First Game

  1. Click the cat sprite and add code blocks from the Motion and Events sections.
  2. Try:
    • When green flag clicked → move 10 steps
    • If on edge → bounce
  3. Add a background → click Choose a backdrop.
💡 Try adding a “Meow” sound when the cat moves!

🧱 Going Further

  • Add more sprites (characters).
  • Use variables to keep score.
  • Make your game reset when the flag is clicked.

Scratch builds logic skills that’ll help when you move on to Arduino or Python later 🧠
