A LITTLE PREPARATION GOES A LONG WAY

Ready for their
first “aha!”?

A computer, ready to create.

Use a laptop or desktop with a current browser, microphone, reliable internet, and Scratch open. We’ll send a setup checklist before class.

A grown-up in their corner.

Parents handle registration and join with the invited Google account. A parent or guardian must remain present for students under 13.

A little room to experiment.

There’s no required homework. Optional creative challenges give students something to explore between sessions. Mistakes are part of making.

THEIR NEXT “WHAT IF?” STARTS HERE

Let’s make something
wonderful.

Four weeks. One first game. A whole lot of possibility.
