Industrial Cadets Coding (Scratch) Project

This self-paced coding activity is designed for 11 to 16-year-olds and can be completed independently on the learning platform. It is intended to take around three hours, although learners can take longer if they want to add more detail to their project.

Progress is saved, so the activity can be completed in more than one sitting.

Participants use Scratch to build two games and develop their understanding of digital programming. The first game includes a moving sprite and at least three levels, and the second builds on this by having the sprite move through items.

The course also introduces how digital programming is used in games and links the experience to careers in gaming.
