Celebrating a term long project in Code Club

In term 3 the Code Club girls were challenged to spend the term making a game using Scratch.  The girls could choose one of three options:

  • they could create a game from scratch (pun not intended)
  • they could continue to build upon a project we had worked on earlier in the year in Code Club
  • they could remix an existing project that they found on Scratch and make it into their own

Setting goals and working to targets, the girls created some wonderful games including (but not limited too) being a cat and having to keep a ball in the air, adventure games where you find hidden treasure and a game in which you make customisable robots. 

In the final week of term 3 we spend a period one afternoon sharing these games with the other Year 4, 5 and 6 girls who all seemed to enjoy giving them a go. After school we had a celebratory afternoon tea with the girls' parents and also gave them a chance to experience the products of a lot of hard work.

Great job Code Clubbers!  I can't wait to see what you create next term.
