STEM Wednesdays: SCRATCH CODING - Refuse to Reuse
Description
In this interactive workshop, students will learn the basics of coding by creating their own Scratch game called Never Refuse to Reuse. Using guided slides along with interactive, hands-on activities, participants will program a game where the player uses a sliding bucket to catch trash falling from the sky. Students will code using Scratch’s block-based programming language and learn fundamental concepts such as loops and conditional statements. Inspired by the Girls Who Code curriculum, this workshop emphasizes creativity, problem-solving, and environmental awareness. By the end of the session, each student will have built and customized their own playable game.
**We have laptops and iPads on hand for the participants to use for the program for those that are unable to bring one.
Recommended for ages 5-11.
Free. Registration required (drop-ins accepted, provided there is space).
