Coding club: Build a jumping game in Scratch

Are you ready to go from playing games to actually making them? In this action-packed, interactive online workshop, you’ll learn how to build your very own arcade-style jumping game from scratch (literally!). Whether you want to escape a stomping dinosaur, dodge flying lasers, or help a goofy character jump over obstacles to score points, you are the boss of the board.

We will use the free website, Scratch, to master the secret coding gravity that makes characters jump up and realistically fall back down and create a scoreboard to challenge your friends and family to beat your high score.

The Scratch website that is available on iPads, Android devices, and laptops.

Join our workshop on Saturday 4 July at 10.30am.

We are holding this workshop online via Zoom. An experienced trainer and a member of staff from the Family Fund team will be there to support.
