Our kids worked hard to create and submit their entries to Google by March 19, 2019. The entries will be reviewed to select state winners who will then move on to the national round. The final winner will receive a $30,000 college scholarship, a $50,000 tech package for their school or non-profit organization, and their artwork will be displayed for a day on Google.com!

CONGRATULATIONS to these super star students who entered the contest! We're proud of you!

OUR FIRST CODING PROJECT (A GAME)

Dorian and I have created our first game using the Scratch coding program (scratch.mit.edu)!

It was a lot of fun and not very hard at all! The goal of the game is to help little Fishy grab the bananas (Fishy's favorite food). Each time you catch the bananas you get a point. But be careful, if you run into one of the little Stingers you lose the game.

Want to play the game we created? Go to https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/230523376/ and tell us what you think!

Then... come back and CODE WITH US!

Dorian helped show his cousin Jaylen how to program his first game in Scratch during summer vacation. Jaylen was a fast learner and coded his game in no time!

Jaylen did a great job!!! Click the image above to check out his game called "Get Dinner." Then Jaylen went a step further and taught us how to add "high score" to our scripts. Great job Jaylen!!!

COMING SOON!!!

We're working on doing live online tutorials with other kids so that we can learn scratch together and share scripts, tips and tricks. Check back on this page for more information.

In the meantime, you can begin to learn Scratch on your own or with a parent or teacher. See the info below to get started, then connect with us and share your results!
