Create A Video Game Using Scratch

Have you ever wondered how video games are made? Have you ever wanted to create your own video game but don't know where to start. In this workshop, we will use Scratch to learn the fundamentals of coding while building a simple video game like Plants vs Zombies or Space Invaders. You will learn how to animate graphics, use fundamental programming tools like loops and if statements, and make objects interact with each other. By the end of the workshop, you will have a basic but functional game that you can customize and build upon later.

No coding experience or special software is needed, but all participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops (iPads will not work for this!). The school has a limited number of laptops that we can loan for the workshop.
