SCRATCH 

CHALLENGE 2020

ABOUT THE COMPETITION

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 Competition.

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 to win prizes including prizes for Best Overall, Best Technical, and Best Artistic Design and digital badges for participating!
