Workshops

Introduction to Scratch Programming (Section I) FULL

Scratch is a visual programming language. Not visual in the terms that Computer Scientists use, but visual in the sense that it is built from a library of functions that are easy to understand even for those who have little to no knowledge of a programming language like Java, or C++, or Visual Basic.

Learn programming and create your own interactive projects through Scratch. By learning Scratch, you'll acquire the skills to develop everything from games, music, and art.
