Creative Computing Introduction to Scratch Programming

Course Description 

In this course, we are going to learn about Scratch Programming, which is an educational programming language with a graphical interface. It was created as a tool that would make programming easy and intuitively understandable. Its purpose was to allow users without any programming experience to learn the basic principles of imperative and multi-threading programming, and hopefully will encourage them to continue in other languages. Naturally, its application is limited to fun and educational projects. When people code in Scratch, they learn important strategies for solving problems, designing projects, and communicating ideas.  This is a self-paced eLearning module and comprises of a mixture of written passages and interactive blocks. This course uses interactive information blocks and knowledge checks. You are expected to complete each section to receive the completion credits.
