Scratch

Early this week we are going to take a bit of a break from our Digital Portfolios and work with Scratch.

As a reminder from last year...

Scratch is designed to help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century learning skills. As they create and share Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.

Your task is to create a self running, (kiosk style) Scratch project addressing the theme. "How to survive in middle school : advice for an incoming sixth grader."

Options:
  • interactive story
  • game
How to Survive in Middle School Project Form
