Instead of typing code, users drag and drop blocks in a visual environment. 🐱 Scratch was created at MIT and can be used for free at scratch.mit.edu. 🐱 It is friendly for children, but it can also be used to teach adults coding. 🐱 Sample intro course (can be customized according to your needs and interest): 🍋 Basics of connecting blocks together. 🍋 Moving your character on the screen. 🍋 Control Flow: if/else, loops, functions. 🍋 Working with lists 🍋 Sample projects: 🍋 Side scrolling game like Super Mario. 🍋 Visualize sorting algorithm. 🍋 Create a piano. 🍋 Create an abacus or calculator.
