Coding Scratch: A Fun Introduction to Computer Programming for Kids

Are you looking for a unique and engaging way to introduce your kids to computer programming? Look no further than Coding Scratch at The Science Museum! In this interactive workshop, children aged 8 and above can learn the basics of coding using the popular block-based visual programming language, Scratch.

In this project-based workshop, participants will have the opportunity to create their own digital game using Scratch. With the guidance of experienced Forge Facilitators, kids will develop important computational thinking skills such as creativity, imagination, and problem-solving while learning how to code.

The workshop is designed for children aged 8 years or older, and all participants must be accompanied by an adult if they are under the age of 13. The workshop has a limited capacity of 12 participants and runs for 45 minutes.

During the workshop, kids will learn how to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively as they design and build their own digital game using Scratch. They will also have the opportunity to share their creations with an active online community of millions of kids around the world who are using Scratch to program their own interactive stories, games, and animations.

Learning coding is not just about understanding a programming language; it's also about developing important skills that can be applied across many disciplinary areas. By participating in this workshop, kids will gain a solid introduction to computer programming and develop problem-solving skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.

The Forge Workshops are included with Science Museum admission and often fill up quickly. To ensure your spot, we recommend reserving your space in advance of your visit by purchasing tickets online or at the Guest Services desk. Advance registration is required for all guests, including members.
