Resources

The Scratch Event Organizing Guide is your introduction to all things Scratch Day. Other helpful guides and sources of activities to explore include:

• Getting Started with Scratch: Never hosted a Scratch workshop? Looking for new ideas to refresh your current workshop approach? Explore the Getting Started with Scratch workshop guide to learn how to introduce Scratch to kids and adults.
• MIT Scratch Curriculum Guide: The MIT Scratch Curriculum Guide is a 20-session introduction to Scratch. The guide includes numerous Scratch activities and handouts that could be used at an event.
• Design Studio Activities: Whether you are new to Scratch or have been using Scratch for a while, this collection of 16 activities is intended to help you think about the possibilities for different ways of creating with Scratch. Each activity presents a constraint – some element or idea that should be included (or not included) in your project.

In this special webinar all about Scratch Day, ScratchEd Team members shared strategies and resources for those interested in hosting a Scratch Day event.

In this webinar, we invited educators from around the world (Ireland, New Zealand, Japan, and the United States) to share their experiences of hosting a Scratch Day event.
