Scratch Creative Computing 2 is a computer science and game programming course for those with some Scratch experience looking to deepen their understanding of the platform and ultimately create a game that not only entertains but also has something to say.
This course continues the learning in Scratch Creative Computing recommended for learners grade 6 and above. Learners will create an Impact Game, or Serious Game, which is a game that is fun and also tries to make an impact on the world in some way. Some impact games raise awareness about important issues, tell a powerful story or change their players.
The projects hosted here have been adapted, edited and expanded on from the curriculum released under a Creative Commons license by the ScratchEd team at the Harvard Graduate School of Education to promote further student engagement. The original curriculum can be found at the Harvard Graduate School of Education Creative Computing website if you choose to use it as an additional resource.
Mouse has designed several courses as recommended learning sequences for groups that want to focus on competency areas that complement one another thematically. Learn more about our Mouse Courses.
