Coding with Scratch – 2nd/3rd/4th/5th grade Scratch is an MIT-developed computer programming language for children. As students build Scratch projects, they can create their own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art by snapping software command ‘blocks’ together. Creating projects in Scratch promotes learning basic computer skills, learn important mathematical and computational ideas, and learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. After learning to use Scratch, the children will then begin to create programs for the LEGO® WeDo™ robotic construction kits to extend the projects into the physical space to build robots. These sessions will be social, playful, inventive, and fun.
