Code Club Lessons

Watch the videos and follow along on Scratch. Pause or rewind the video whenever you need to. If your project isn’t working right, try watching a bit more in the video, to see if they answer the question, then double check all of your blocks.

Video lessons are either from the Scratch Team or Ms. Ivy from Magdalena Public Library.
