Day 1: Scratch Intro

Introduction

Scratch is the world’s largest coding community for children and a coding language with a simple visual interface that allows young people to create digital stories, games, and animations. Scratch is designed, developed, and moderated by the Scratch Foundation, a nonprofit organization. Scratch promotes computational thinking and problem solving skills; creative teaching and learning; self-expression and collaboration; and equity in computing.

Blocks

Blocks groups are in seven groups or nine groups (if you count the variables and my blocks) The groups are motion, looks, events, control, sensing, operators, variables, and my blocks

+ info

Scratch blocks are puzzle-piece shaped lines of code that are used to create code in the Scratch programming language. Blocks are grouped into seven categories based on their shapes and functions, and each block is represented by a circle of a different color. Blocks that perform a similar task are put into the same category and share a common color. For example, a yellow block might be an "event" block that looks for when a button is clicked, and a purple block connected to it might be a sound block that plays a sound when told to by the yellow block.

Scratch wouldn't work without them, they are more important that stack blocks

Stack Blocks

Hat blocks are blocks that are like hats, they are always ontop of the code

Hat Blocks

Stack blocks are the blocks you use to code and are the main type.

Hat blocks are crutial as they are used to even start programs

- Elon Musk

I taught myself how to program computers when I was a kid, bought my first computer when I was 10, and sold my first commercial program when I was 12.

Interactivity and animation can be your best allies to make the content fun.

Sprites

In the visual programming application Scratch, sprites are graphic objects that can be programmed to act as characters or main characters in a project. Sprites can move, interact with other sprites, respond to user input, and perform actions based on written code. For example, a sprite might be programmed to say hello, play a sound, or move to the right.

Sprites

Sprites are crutial as they are the things that move, talk, and do things.

Sprites can be created from scratch or imported from external sources, such as images or animations. The Scratch library includes sprites such as penguins, starfish, and dinosaurs, and users can also customize existing sprites by changing their color or adding or removing features. Once a sprite is created, users can program it with scripts, costumes, and sounds. Each sprite has its own set of scripts that control its behavior and interactions with other sprites and events

Backdrops

In Scratch, a backdrop is an image that can be displayed on the stage, which is the background of a project. Backdrops can be used to create different levels or pages in a project, and can help keep an audience's interest engaged when telling a story.

Scratch statistics

One of the major uses of backdrops in Scratch is to make animations for a game or a project. What operations can be done for backdrops in Scratch? In Scratch, the user can choose a backdrop, paint a backdrop, surprise, and upload a particular backdrop.

Blocks

Motion - These blocks make your sprite move!
Looks - Can change effects, including color, size, and costume.
Sound- Changes volume, pitch, and sound effects.
Events - If _____ happens do ______
Control - Repeat loops, stop all, and clones!
Sensing - toching mouse or certan color, key pressed, and more!
Operators- math operation blocks, join blocks, and more!
Variables - Make, edit and change variables, and lists and much more!
My Blocks- Functions

You can also add extra blocks including pen, text to speech, music, and much more!

My blocks allow you to create new blocks for a sprite. You give the block a name and then define what the new block does using other Scratch blocks. You can use your new block in any script on the sprite that owns the block.
