Scratch Club Coming...

Hi,
I'm starting a "Scratch Club" at school. This is the program I used to create the "Attack of the Fruit Platters" and "Tennisball Pick Up" games. It is a visual computer language made for kids! MIT created it. (That's a great university.)


TIME:
TBA (Mondays 3pm - 4:30pm?)
LOCATION: Computer Room 222
COST: FREE!
WHAT:
Create your own computer games
  • Learn to create your very own computer games, art, or just weird things if you want.
  • Then post them onto MIT's Scratch site (for free) for the world to view and play with.
  • Collaborate with others, "create, imagine and share".
  • Learn problem solving and logic all while having fun.
Don't confuse this with the other people teaching Scratch on Wed. mornings. They are charging $90 or something and that is a City-sponsored club or something. My club will be after school and free.

Interested? Questions? Ask away...

From the Scratch web site:
Scratch is a new programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web.

Scratch is designed to help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century learning skills. As they create Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also gaining a deeper understanding of the process of design.

Scratch is available free of charge, go to Download.
