STEM from Scratch

Scratch Programming

Unleash your creativity in this interactive workshop where you’ll design and build your own game using Scratch, a visual programming platform perfect for beginners. Age 8-12

We’ll also introduce you to the exciting world of computer vision using Teachable Machine, a tool that allows you to train your AI model without any coding. You’ll connect your custom AI model to Scratch and use it to control your game, creating a unique and interactive experience. Along the way, you’ll learn how to create characters, design gameplay mechanics, and bring your ideas to life. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a fully functional game that you can share and play with others!

This workshop is being led by volunteers from STEM from Scratch, a high school student-led organization providing STEM-related opportunities to students across Halton.

Pizza and snacks will be provided at the workshop.
