Hour of Code LIVE Create-Along with Gitanjali Rao

Scratch has teamed up with inspiring young scientist and innovator Gitanjali Rao to celebrate Hour of Code 2024. We’ve created two activities to explore and remix, inspired by her innovations and advocacy. We’re inviting our entire global community to join us for a live Create-Along with Gitanjali and Maren from the Scratch Team on December 10th, at 1pm ET, on our official YouTube channel, supported by a weeklong community event on scratch.mit.edu.

From Singing Sandwiches to Cheesy Poofs in Orbit: Leveling Up with Scratch

The Scratch programming environment supports everything from low floor entry points to advanced computational concepts. Join Eric Rosenbaum (Scratch Foundation) and Karen Brennan (Creative Computing Lab, Harvard University) for a deeper dive into Scratch coding and level up the fun. During this live 75-minute session, you will explore topics like variables, lists, clones, the pen extension, music and sound, and more. The session will conclude with a short Q&A and related lesson plans that you can take back to use with your learners.
