Discovering Computer Science & Programming through Scratch
Pitt, L., Rocke, J., Sebestik, J.
Abstract
This curriculum introduces young people to five fundamental principles of computer programming, providing a foundation for exploring and creating. Scratch is a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. Each youth in a group should have his/her own guidebook.
In Discovering Computer Science & Programming through Scratch, youth interact with a series of tutorials and challenges within the Scratch environment. Young people can work on the activities individually, with partners, or in a guided instructional setting. Grades 6-8.
This curriculm is available from the 4-H Mall and offers a facilitator guide, a youth guide, or a set of both guides.
