We will be starting with Scratch next week. We will be using Scratch 2.0. It is best to download it and install on your machine.

To download Scratch 2.0 follow the instructions at

Step 1 is to download and install Adobe Air

Step 2 is to download and install Scratch 2.0

Most people are using Windows laptops so make sure to choose the Windows versions of Adobe Air and Scratch 2.0.

You will need the admin password for your machine – please check your email for the admin password for the new laptops or get help from your parents if its an existing laptop.

Thanks to all who attended tonight for making it a great first night. The Eventbrite for next week is now live and published on the right hand side of the page.

If you are attending next week just click register and follow the instructions. There is a password that I will send by email.

I will send on instructions for mentors and ninjas (thats the kids are called!) for what to prepare for next Thursday’s session where we will start Scratch programming.

Let me know by email of you have any questions
