On February 20th, all students in Grade 2 had a chance to program their own video game using Scratch!

 

Each class spent 2 periods with instructors from CA Tech Kids, who showed them how to combine visual blocks give commands to the computer. In the end, their main character (the red crab) was able to move by following the player’s mouse, emit a sound when touching enemies, and display a text message when reaching its target (the fish).

 

The students seemed to have enjoyed their coding experience very much!
