Your First Scratch Program — Make the Cat Move!

Let’s build your very first program together:

1. Click the default Scratch Cat sprite to select it.
2. In the Block Palette, click Events (yellow) and drag “When 🏁 clicked” into the Code Area.
3. Click Motion (blue) and drag “move 10 steps” — snap it below the first block.
4. Click the Green Flag — the cat moves to the right!
5. Change 10 to 50 and run again — notice the bigger jump.

Congratulations — you just wrote your first program!
