Ideas From Scratch
Scratch is an incredibly versatile tool that can be be a way to learn computer skills, create games and animations, solve problems and control robots. One of the best ways to use scratch it to do visualization - create a visual representation of a complicated idea. So we have been challenging students to demonstrate their ideas in Science, Math and other topics using scratch.
To learn more about what we have been doing and about Scratch in general, come to the CSUN scratch day event.
