Course Description
In movies, whenever the scene involves a programmer, they are typing lots of stuff at such a high speed that their fingers are practically a blur. And the character does this for hours!
It is easy to look at such scenes and wonder, “Do I really think that I can reach that level?” Well, here comes Scratch!
Scratch is a unique programming language that is based on blocks – actual blocks. So no need to worry about creating pages of hand-typed code – all you will need to do is drag and drop. Cool, huh?
