Scratch is the world’s largest coding community for children and a coding language with a simple visual interface that allows young people to create digital stories, games, and animations. Scratch promotes computational thinking and problem-solving skills; creative teaching and learning; self-expression and collaboration; and equity in computing. The concepts of block programming learned in Scratch will also be used in the upcoming sessions (for example, in Micro:bit). Take a journey with Dr. Iqbal, as he explains the very core concepts of programming using Scratch. Also, learn to animate your name and clean the ocean using Scratch.
