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.
