Scratch Creative Assignment / by Annie Silverman

Creating this Scratch game was a challenge. Throughout the making of it, I was constantly experimenting, playing, and troubleshooting what would work and what wouldn't. I was also trying to utilize YouTube tutorials and friends of mine who know how to code. I found that the process of making can be similar to material exploration in fine art. Students could use Scratch to make their creations come to life as animations or interactive games. Scratch also lends the opportunity to use graphic design because of the feature to upload your own designs for sprites and backgrounds.
