By the end of this project, you will create a basic game using additional features with an introductory, web-based coding program called Scratch. Learning to code will allow you to build basic coding or computer science skills and a fundamental understanding in order to grow your programming abilities. Learners will engage in the design process in order to develop an understanding of how to develop algorithms that control programs, use event-driven programming, and debug a program. Introduction to Basic Game Development using Scratch is a prerequisite for this project. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
