Programming Workshops Session II 2014

The Eli Whitney Museum is offering workshops for young programmers. First timers will enjoy learning logic with popular game characters through Code.org's new beginners' courses. Or develop your skills with Scratch, MIT's drag-and-drop language which gives you the freedom to create your own games and animations.

Code.org (Beginners' or Continuing Workshop)

Code.org has expanded their "Hour of Code" lessons with new courses. Learn basic coding concepts by using drag-and-drop logic blocks to guide popular characters through a series of challenging puzzles. You will help characters from "Angry Birds", "Plants vs. Zombies," "Flappy Bird" and more to draw pictures, collect flowers, farm fields, and navigate mazes.

Scratch: Arcade Remix (Intermediate Workshop)

Using “Scratch,” MIT’s programming language for beginners, remake classic games “Moon Lander,” and “Robotron 2084.” We’ll give you all the tools you need to “clone” these classic games, then tweak them in to something new.

This course is designed for students who have completed Code.org Course 3, or have used Scratch before. First time coders will want to sign up for our Beginners’ Course.
