Scratch is a programming language which enables students to create interactive stories and games using drag and drop programming blocks. First, students create a few simple games, exploring how to code different aspects of each game, eventually gaining enough knowledge to conceive and create an original! Using variables, conditional statements and loops to create games requires one to think outside the box to accomplish the game’s intent. This gives students a glimpse into how long and hard it must be to develop and finish commercial games played at home. Great follow up to Scratch Jr.
