Animations will be judged on creativity and content. Please be sure that the Scratch project is "shared" before entering. (If your animation is a story, please submit to Challenge 2.) 

Animation could be about anything, but educational or informative contents are preferred.  Please be sure that the Scratch project is "shared" before entering. 

This challenge is for grades 3-8.

2. GAME DESIGN CHALLENGE

Educational content is preferred.  Please be sure that the Scratch project is "shared" before entering.  If this game is a Remix, please include the original project in Notes and Credits and clearly explain what you modified.
