Scratch Game Programming [100% FREE]

Scratch is the best educational programming software for kids available today. With Scratch, you can create games and interactive art projects all while having lots of fun! Parents and teachers can use this course’s fun projects to guide their children and students to a solid understanding of basic programming concepts while having fun!

IMPORTANT NOTE: This course was made for Scratch 2.0. On January 1st, 2019, Scratch 3.0 was released on the Scratch website. However, you can still use the Scratch 2.0 Offline Editor. This course will be completed updated for the new 3.0 version in mid-2019. The information here is still relevant to using Scratch 3.0, though it doesn’t cover 3.0’s new features.

Designed by the MIT Media Lab’s Lifelong Kindergarten Group for 8 to 16 year old’s, Scratch is a free programming environment that runs in your web browser. But Scratch users consist of people of all ages, including younger children with their parents. The software makes it easy for anyone to start developing their programming and problem-solving skills.

This course (and supplemental book) covers the creation of several classic games like brick Breaker, Snake, and Fruit Ninja. Instead of memorizing a list of programming concepts, you’re guided through making these games and picking up programming concepts on the way. The lectures follow the 6 game and computer art projects, along with additional content on debugging and experimenting with Scratch.
