Learning Paths

Paths are a series of 6 projects that help to build your coding and design skills. Paths will help you gain new skills, then make design choices to personalise your projects, and finally create something unique.

More Scratch: broadcast, decisions and variables

More Scratch moves beyond the basics introduced in Introduction to Scratch. You will make apps, games and simulations using message broadcasting, if..then and if..then..else decisions and variables.
Introduction to Scratch: sprites, scripts, and loops

In this introduction to coding in Scratch for beginners, you will learn how to add code, costumes, and sounds to sprites as you make animations, a game, an app, and a book.
Further Scratch: clones, my blocks, and boolean logic

Further Scratch moves beyond the skills introduced in Introduction to Scratch and More Scratch. You will make apps, games, computer-generated art, and simulations using boolean logic, functions, clones, and more.
