Tap your students’ curiosity, imagination, and natural drive to create with the easy-to-use coding language of Scratch. This workshop, intended for newcomers and Scratch experts alike, provides a hands-on introduction to Scratch, the most popular programming language for young people. When you learn to code, you learn important life skills for solving problems, designing projects, and communicating ideas. In this workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to create your own interactive projects in Scratch, reflect on your learning experiences, and discuss ways of integrating coding into the classroom. You will also be introduced to the resource-rich global Scratch community where students have published more than 18 million projects.
