Coding is very popular worldwide, and it’s a creative way for you to improve computational thinking and 21st century literacy skills. Scratch uses a block-based coding language that allows you to create a wide-variety of projects such as games, music, animations, art, and more. You can gain a sense of pride and ownership by creating engaging projects and sharing them with peers and the Scratch community. This club consists of more than just creating loops, debugging, adding conditionals, using variables, and including events in your programs. We learn coding vocabulary, and discover how to be persistent and have patience while working on a project.
