Scratch Day: Hands-On Computational Thinking Activites for Youth and Adults

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This lesson engages K-12 students, educators, and parents in original Scratch Day activities developed for lower-level (K-5th grade), upper-level (6th-12th grade), and post-secondary (adult) audiences. These lessons targeted individuals with limited knowledge regarding computational thinking. Activities involved sequencing and algorithmic expressions using block-based coding on the ScratchJr and Scratch web apps. Participants engaged in collaborative conversation and problem-solving as they made creative design decisions and debugged when they encountered coding issues.
