Course Content
Welcome to Scratch
Students get oriented with the Scratch platform, understand what programming is, and set up their free Scratch account ready for the rest of the course.
0/6
Motion and Looks
Students learn to move sprites around the Stage using Motion blocks, and change how sprites look using Looks blocks — including costumes, speech bubbles, and size changes.
0/7
Loops and Sequences
Students learn to repeat actions efficiently using loop blocks (forever, repeat, repeat until) and understand how the order of blocks in a sequence changes the program's behaviour.
0/7
Conditionals and User Input
Students learn to make programs that react and make decisions using if/else blocks, key-press detection, and mouse input — the foundation of interactive games and apps.
0/8
Variables and Operators
Students learn to store and manipulate data using variables, and combine values with math and logic operators — the tools needed to build scoreboards, timers, and smarter programs.
0/7
Events and Messages
Students learn how Scratch programs react to events (flag click, key press, sprite click) and how sprites communicate with each other using broadcast messages.
0/7
Sound and Music
Students add sound effects and music to their projects using Scratch's Sound editor and blocks, making their games and animations more engaging and polished.
0/8
Lists and Clones
Students learn to store multiple values in lists, and to create multiple copies of a sprite using clones — two powerful tools for building more complex and dynamic projects.
0/7
Final Project and Course Wrap-Up
Students apply every skill learned in the course to build and present a complete Scratch game or interactive project — their portfolio showpiece. The topic closes with a review of key concepts and guidance for continuing to grow as a programmer.

What Is a List?

A list is like a variable that can hold many values at once, one after another. Each value has an index (position number starting at 1).

Creating a List

  1. Click Variables → Make a List.
  2. Name it (e.g., High Scores) and click OK.

Key List Blocks

  • add (value) to (list) — adds a new item at the end.
  • delete (1) of (list) — removes the item at position 1.
  • item (1) of (list) — reads the value at position 1.
  • length of (list) — tells you how many items are in the list.
