Scratch Coding

Scratch is a program developed by MIT to teach students the basics on how computers think. This program will introduce students to real coding programs and allow them to drag and drop coding blocks, creating a fully functional program. The simple user interface and tutorials allow students to quickly create and run their code to see its results. This course assumes no prior computer coding knowledge and includes self-graded, multiple-choice tests and quizzes.
