We will host 2 scratch workshops with children aged 10-12 at our school. The workshops will be facilitated by professional coding teachers and are Halloween themed to create interest and promote a fun atmosphere in the classroom. Children will learn the basics of coding and game design as they create a Halloween game using spooky sprites, with lots of scare jumps and ghostly sound effects. The last 30 minutes of the workshop will be in a hackathon format where children are encouraged to find bugs in the code and resolve the issues together.
