Boat Race Game in Scratch - coding workshop for kids 6+

Coding class for beginner
About this Event

In this resource, you are going to learn how to make a racing game. The player uses the mouse to navigate a boat to an island without bumping into obstacles.

What is Scratch:

Scratch is a free programming language and online community where you can create your own interactive stories, games, and animations. It's designed especially for ages 6 to 15 but is used by people of all ages, including educators and parents. Scratch makes use of a simple block-based interface that serves as an introductory approach to fundamental programming concepts like loops, variables, conditional statements, and more.

Instead of typing code, users drag and combine blocks to build programs. This visual approach is intended to simplify the process, making it more accessible and less intimidating for beginners.

What students will learn:

Use operators to compare numbers in Scratch
Add code to detect when a sprite is touching a color in Scratch
Use a variable to record the time in Scratch
