Creative Animation with Scratch

Unleash your creativity and bring stories to life in this fun and interactive Scratch Animation course. Using Scratch, a visual programming language, students will learn the basics of animation by creating their own characters, backgrounds, and animations. Through hands-on projects, they will explore key animation concepts such as motion, timing, and sequencing while developing coding skills that form the foundation for more advanced animation and game design.

In this course, students will create animated stories, interactive scenes, and even simple cartoons, while learning to use Scratch’s drag-and-drop coding blocks to control characters and objects. By the end of the course, students will have a portfolio of original animations and a solid understanding of how animation works, both in programming and creative design.
