What You'll Learn
Navigate the Scratch interface and build animated scenes from scratch
Use loops, sequences, and events to control sprite behaviour
Apply if/else logic and collision detection to create real game mechanics
Track player progress using score, lives, and timer variables
Coordinate multiple sprites using broadcast messages
Design, build, debug, and present a complete original Scratch game
What You Will Build

This course follows three phases of progressive game building. In Phase 1 you create animations and learn to control sprites. In Phase 2 you add keyboard controls, collision detection, scoring, and multi-sprite interaction — turning your animation into a playable game. In Phase 3 you learn cloning, custom blocks, and smart design — then build your own complete original Scratch game for the capstone, featuring player movement, a score system, lives, enemies, and a win or lose ending. 

Why This Course
Scratch is the world's most widely used introductory programming platform — used in schools across 200 countries. But more than learning Scratch, this course teaches learners to think computationally: to break problems into steps, spot what is going wrong in code, and design systems that work together. Every concept is introduced through a project that learners genuinely want to build and play. By the end, they have a real game portfolio and the confidence to explain every creative and technical decision behind it.
