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.

Practical List Uses — Quiz Questions and High Scores

Example 1: Quiz Question Bank

  1. Create two lists: Questions and Answers.
  2. Add questions to Questions list: add (What is 2+2?) to Questions.
  3. Add answers to Answers list: add (4) to Answers.
  4. Use a variable CurrentQ as the index.
  5. ask (item (CurrentQ) of Questions) and wait → if answer = item (CurrentQ) of Answers then → say “Correct!”

Example 2: High Score List

At game over: add (Score) to (High Scores). Show the list on Stage so players can see all past scores.
