About the Activity

Authored by Kasey Lynn Bozeman

This activity is an introduction to basic coding and using commands in Scratch.

In computer science, commands are instructions that tell a computer to perform a specific action. During this activity, you will explore the simple commands of ‘move’ and ‘turn’ by coding a graphic to complete a maze. At the end of the activity, grab your family and friends to play a game that demonstrates robotic commands.

For this activity, please use a desktop or laptop computer. Mobile devices are not supported.
