About This Activity
Scratch Jr. is an introductory programming language which enables K-2 students to create interactive stories and games using drag and drop programming blocks to make characters move, jump, dance, and sing… Reading is optional! Younger students improve computer skills while developing fluidity in their thinking and storytelling using code sequences. Coding requires students to analyze situations in order to achieve a desired outcome - this translates directly to real-life problem solving skills.
