Scratch for Primary Children

2015 February 28 and March 22

Thank you very much for attending our Scratch workshop! This was the first experience at building an actual program for the children, and they all did very well to understand so many concepts and learn new technical vocabulary.

We covered the following concepts:

  • forever and repeat loops
  • if
  • variables
  • positive and negative directions on the x-y plane

and learned many other things to do with using Scratch and changing the way things look or sound or move.

Files used for teaching are here:

The original files with the kids' work were sent by e-mail. They are for Scratch 1.4 (download version, same as Raspberry Pi).

We have also made the kids' programs available on the Scratch website. They have been converted to the online version of Scratch (Scratch 2), and won't work on the Raspberry Pi.

(updated with games from the second workshop)

Car1 and dragon3 are samples to experiment with. The rest are the kids' projects and begin with the initial of the child who made them.

Children who brought their own Raspberry Pi will not see their projects here, because we don't have a copy.

Thank you once again, and we hope to see you again soon!
