Introduction

 

Welcome to our first Y7 Computing lesson in the new subject area of Creative Technologies.  In this subject you are going to learn to program using Scratch.  You are going to make a a simple video game or tell a story using Scratch.  Your task will be to research, plan, design, create, teat and evaluate your game.  Remember this is a very big project and there is a lot to do.  What you must not do is get carried away with the coding element.  While we want you to become knowledgeable programmers computing is not just coding.
