About Program
Scratch Game Development: Junior to Senior is a hands-on journey designed to take students from beginner-level Scratch skills to advanced game development. Students will build exciting games while learning movement, physics, collision detection, clones, scoring, levels, power-ups, scrolling, and boss battles. With every game, students take on new challenges, strengthen their problem-solving skills, and learn how real games are designed and developed. The course concludes with students creating and presenting their own original Scratch game.
