Scratch for Educators (SD33 Teachers/TTOCs/Teacher Candidates/Admin ONLY)
Scratch is a free, block-based programming environment that is perfect for introducing code to the classroom and a great
educational tool for building fun and creative projects like video games, animations, digital art and more. In this workshop
we’ll explore a variety of coding concepts and practices, while experiencing example Scratch lessons and becoming more
familiar with the tool. Some (free!) resources to help you get started with using Scratch in the classroom will be provided.
