SCRATCH
CHALLENGE 2020
ABOUT THE CHALLENGE
For the past 6 years Brilliant Labs, and our community partners have been celebrating the creativity and innovative imagination of youth throughout our region through the annual Scratch Challenge.
Scratch is a block-based visual programming language and online community. It was developed by the MIT Media Lab, has been translated into 70+ languages, and where it can be used to help introduce youth to coding it can be used to create some very amazing and complex projects.
Students will have an opportunity earn prizes and digital badges for participating!
