Scratch is a delightfully inviting programming environment that rewards tinkering and exploration. There are a combination of do-as-I-do demonstrations and prompting to create a game of one's own. We encourage making one's own characters and telling one's own stories. This workshop is open to learners at all levels. Se habla español.
