Teen Tech Week: Scratch Video Game Design Workshop

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 3 pm in the Youth Department

Want to create a super awesome video game project? Well don't miss out on this event! We'll be learning some new concepts in Scratch, taught by our own Michael Soldati.

There is only a limited number of computers available, so register now for this workshop and save your space.

Scratch is a free downloadable two-dimensional design application developed by the MIT Media Lab. Create interactive, real-time programs using your own animations, imported photos, video and sound clips.

Scratch is based on the same basic logic as other programming languages but it is designed in a way that makes it easy for beginners. Once you're ready to share your game, animation or presentation with the world you can upload it to the Scratch network. Other users can then view it, play it and/or remix it.

If you get stuck, Scratch provides its own self-directed user support online.
