K-8 Tip-Programming

"I am done with my assignment . . . can I go online and play a game???"

Students ask this question often  . . . here is the solution.
let's not play a game . . . let's create one!

Scratch is designed with learning and education in mind. As young people create and share projects in Scratch, they develop important design and problem-solving skills, learning how to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.

Scratch can be used in many different settings: schools, museums, community centers, and homes. It is intended especially for 8- to 16-year-olds, but younger children can work on Scratch projects with their parents or older siblings, and college students use Scratch in some introductory computer science classes.
