Download the one sprite and 3 scripts of "Beginning Scratch 3" and open it in Scratch Project Notes
I used this project to show a young potential programmer how to use math equations in Scratch. Of course the equation in the program is wrong. We worked on fixing it and making other changes.
I also tried to introduce the concept of variables to my six-year-old subject by creating a variable for Sissy’s age. The result? I was told that "I don’t want to do this anymore because it is using up my time to play Webkinz".
Oh well, I tried.

Oh! you're supposed to download!
That’s right! This was a small project that I used to show a very young programmer something about Scratch programming.
WEBKINZ?
I supposed Webkinz are most popular with the 6 year old crowd. But time will change that.
Webkinz are toys that come with the ability to let the buyer log onto a web site and play games. My hope is that someday making games will be more fun. :-)
(view all replies)lol weird
True. It does not make any sense as an online project. What I had in mind is that it could be downloaded and used with a young programmer to show them how to make the block work in a Scratch program.

LOL!!!
Have you quit scratch
Thanks. I appreciate that and I’ve missed keeping up with you and your projects – but I plan to catch up as soon as I can.
(view all replies)I haven't quit, I just took a break. Looks like you've been busy!
(view all replies)Yayy! Ive just learned a new thing in Scratch!
That's Wonderful! Thanks for letting me know.

A nice project to teach Scratch in interesting way!
Thanks. It made a nice starting point for a one-on-one session with a beginning programmer. Based on my three mentoring sessions (each one on a different Saturday) I’d say that projects that had some drawing and motion held the interest of my young programmer but math did not. I guess I could have expected that.
You can lead a horse to water...but you can't make them drink! I tried for years to get my kids interested in programming...they would try it for a while and then wander off to something else. It must have had some impact though...my oldest will be graduating soon with a degree in Computer Science and my youngest is quite good in Scratch!
You won't remember this comment, so I'll quote, "...my oldest will be graduating soon with a degree in Computer Science..." MIT, or elsewhere?

That’s great to hear about your kids. Thanks for the encouragement
