Game programming using Scratch
In Grade 7, students are challenged to design and create an educational computer game that could be used in the primary school. The game has to be programmed in the Scratch software.
This software is developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to introduce young students to the basics of computer programming.
As always in Technology, the design cycle will be used as a framework to tackle the design challenge.
