Workshop Title : Bring your culture to Scratch
Workshop Description
As Scratch is rapidly growing across the world, we want our users to feel culturally represented in our library of sprites, backgrounds and other digital assets. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the playful world of scratch and then dive deep into creating their own custom backpacks, thus enriching their scratch projects with the diversity, beauty and joy of their culture.
