Make a Scratch Project

One option for your Technovation project is to make a Scratch project to solve your problem.
 
Let’s get started by exploring the Scratch world and coding your first project!

ACTIVITY 1: EXPLORE SCRATCH

With the help of your parent or mentor, follow the video below to:
  1. Sign up for a Scratch account
  2. Do the Getting Started tutorial
  3. Try 2 or 3 other tutorials

SAVING YOUR PROJECT

When you make a cool project, you want to make sure and save it!

Give your project a descriptive name so you’ll know what it’s about.

Then Save Now under the File menu.

To see all your projects, click on the Folder next to your username.

If you click on a project, you will see the project page, where you can run the project.

Click See inside to edit the project again.

ACTIVITY 2: TELL A STORY

Choose one of the problems you and your team are thinking about solving. Make a new project and tell a story about the problem with Scratch.

Be creative! How will you tell people about the problem?

GREAT JOB!

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

You can also make your project using OctoStudio, a version of Scratch that runs on your phone.

It works a lot like Scratch, but has been designed so you can build and run your project directly on the phone.
