Meritech

During Day 1 of the Meritech Gamemaker course the girls got an introduction to the Scratch programming language. They learned about the basics of programming using a visual programming language and were introduced to the motion, looks, sound, events and control blocks inside of Scratch. You can find a copy of the slides we used during the first day here.

During Day 2 of the Meritech Gamemaker course we made a paint game inside Scratch. The girls learned about and used the sensing, operator and variables blocks inside of Scratch to build their very first game! You can download a copy of the workbook we used on Day 2 by clicking here.

During Day 3 of the Meritech Gamemaker course we made a racing car game in Scratch. We showed the girls how to import custom sprites/characters into their games. They also learned how to create custom backgrounds and how to turn them into race tracks! You can download a copy of the workbook we used on Day 2 by clicking here.
