We spent a few weeks (from mid November up to Christmas break) to learn the simple yet super instructive Scratch computer programming language and created quite a few awesome video games, animation, and videos. I'm pretty impressed with how quickly the students caught on and how creative some of the games were in just a few short weeks! The students learned basic computer science concepts like creating sprites, how to instruct their characters to move, fly, jump, hop, run, disappear, and they learned about infinite loops, random number generators, score keeper, costume design, game theory, and much much more. For example, check out our most prolific Scratch progammer, Cameron's work by searching "pig9productions" on the Scratch website. I think you will be amazed!
