About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

L earn new skills at Austin Public Library creating projects in Scratch following the Rasberry Pi Code Club curriculum. Students follow printed tutorials assigned according to experience and ability, supported by an adult as necessary to gain coding skills in a guided and sequenced format. For complex projects, students may work on the same project over several weeks. All levels welcome ages 8-12.

Scratch is a programming language and online community where you can create your own interactive stories, games, and animations -- and share your creations with others around the world. In the process of designing and programming Scratch projects, young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.

Frequently asked questions

Does my student need a Scratch account?

We recommend setting your student up in advance with their own free Scratch account at https://scratch.mit.edu/ This will allow them to save their projects and work on them at home. Remember to bring their login information to class!
