Coding with Scratch
Programming with playful logic.
Explore programming with Scratch, the MIT-built environment that pairs creativity with computational thinking.
What students do
Every session is hands-on and project-based. Students collaborate with a vetted teaching artist, work through structured challenges, and leave with something they made — a model, a recording, a portfolio piece, a finished dish, or a performance.
Who it's for: Students curious about Coding with Scratch who learn best by building, making, and doing.
What's inside
- •Toolkit setup and interface fluency
- •Core mechanics and best practices
- •Original project students design and build
