Programming with Scratch
If you have a little bit of experience using Hour of Code or some other basic programming language/environment, we suggest that you really learn about programming by studying Scratch. Even if you have played with Scratch on your own or in school, we suggest that you work through the following materials to build a better foundation for programming.
Level 0 Activities - Getting Started with Scratch
We suggest you complete the following activities in order. Even if you have already worked with scratch these are good activities to review.
Level 1 Activities - Learning about the possibilities in Scratch
