Operation Manual

A beginner’s guide to Scratch

What next?

Congratulations! You are now a Scratch programmer. Hopefully, this is just the

beginning for you, and you will be inspired to create your own programs using

the Scratch language. There are many other skills and programming techniques

to learn.

Happily, one of the great things about Scratch is the wealth of support and

advice on the internet. I have included a few links to some online tutorials for you

to explore:

And why not tell your teachers about Scratch? Maybe you and other like-minded

kids from your school could even set up a Scratch Club. And when you have

projects to do, you could ask your teachers if you can do them using Scratch.

The most important thing is to have fun with Scratch.

Stuck and don’t

know how to get

unstuck? Don’t

suffer in silence.

There are some

great, friendly

forums on the

Scratch website

where there are

lots of other

Scratch users

to help you.
