Everything you need to know to enter your Scratch project in a Coolest Projects event.
Scratch is a free, block-based visual programming tool. It can be used online in a web browser or you can download it to your computer.
The Scratch category does not include projects that use Scratch to program hardware elements or electronics, such as robots. Those should be submitted in the Hardware category with an accompanying video — we want to see your projects in action!
Level: Beginner
In this introduction to coding in Scratch, you will learn how to add code, costumes, and sounds to sprites as you make animations, a game, an app, and a book.
level: Intermediate
The More Scratch path takes you beyond the basics met in Introduction to Scratch. You will make apps, games, and simulations using message broadcasting, along with if…then and if…then…else decisions, and variables.
Level: Advanced
The Further Scratch path builds on the skills introduced in Introduction to Scratch and More Scratch. You will make apps, games, computer-generated art, and simulations using Boolean logic, functions, clones, and more.
For the Coolest Projects online showcase:
Make sure you share your project so it’s public, and then submit the URL in the registration form. Easy!
For Coolest Projects in-person events:
Tell us a bit about the project in the registration form and then bring along a device like a laptop to share your project on the event day. If you don’t have a device at home, let us know and we can bring one for you to use.
It’s OK to remix other people’s Scratch projects for all Coolest Projects events. In fact, we encourage it! Remixing is a great way to learn new skills and get ideas. But we need to see what you have made, not another person’s work. If you remix a project, you MUST:
