Create Your Own Social Distancing Game Using Scratch!
Kids Are Virtually Guided Through the Process by Grant Smith, Code Ninjas VP of Education
During this time of at-home schooling, working, playing — at-home everything, really — our kids are glued to screens more often than not. If their schools are able, some of that time may consist of learning and interacting with peers or their teacher. Most of it, however, is likely used to watch shows, TikToks, or play games.
While having fun is important — especially during this time — Code Ninjas wants to challenge your kids to use their screen time creatively while trying their hand at coding!
That is why Code Ninjas VP of Education Grant Smith put together the video below for kids to learn how to program their own game while practicing social distancing. All that you need to do before getting started is to visit scratch.mit.edu, click the CREATE tab at the top, start the video and follow along. But most of all, remember to have fun!
