Learn about Scratch at the library

Scratch is an easy visually-based programming language that you can use to create games, stories, interactive, art, music and more.  Here, check out this little Scratch project I made for the library: Library Verbs
You can check out Scratch for yourself here.

  • Monday July 26 3:30-4:30
