Designed for ages 11 to 18, this class is a crash course into the world of interactive visual programming. Using Scratch’s block - base coding system, participants will create captivating stories, engaging games, and lively animations by assembling colored blocks into functional code sequences. Introducing young STEM learners to the fundamentals of programming in a fun and accessible way, our Scratch class is one you won’t want to miss!

Beyond digital creations, Scratch also acts as a bridge between the virtual and physical worlds. In this class, kids explore how to program real-world models by integrating Scratch with specific LEGO sets, bringing creativity to life through a hands-on learning exploration. This exciting journey into coding and innovation will leave participants feeling like block programming pros!
