In this part of the lesson, you’ll begin working with Scratch, a visual programming tool that lets you drag and drop blocks to create code — no typing required!
Using Scratch makes learning to code easy and fun. You’ll be creating your own project before you know it!
What You’ll Do:
Explore the Scratch interface: Learn where to find coding blocks, the stage, and your sprites.
Try simple actions: Drag blocks to make a character move.
Understand how code flows: Learn how blocks connect to create a sequence of actions.
Save your project: Practice saving your progress so you can come back and build more later.
Watch the video walkthrough to get familiar with how visual coding works. You'll see how to snap blocks together, what each block means, and how to start building your very first program. Click the video below to watch a short walkthrough of the Scratch interface. You'll learn how to:
