b. Designed-based learning activities (through Scratch and Microsoft MakeCode for
micro: bit programming tools)

These tools help to support the development of CT through interactive media
programming. Participants will be engaged in the development of external artifacts
with the use of the tools through a constructivist approach (Kafai & Resnick, 1996).

iii. Perspective (the perspectives designers form about the world around them and
about themselves, e.g. expressing)

A computational thinker sees something as more than to consume. They see
something as that can be used for design and self-expression.

SCRATCH

Scratch was created by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at MIT Media lab and is
available for free download at http://scratch.mit.edu. The first desktop-only version of
Scratch was released in 2003. Scratch 2.0 was released on May 9, 2013 and is
available online. Adobe Air is required to use with Scratch 2.0. The offline version of
Scratch 2.0 can be downloaded for Windows, Mac and Linue from Scratch’s website.
Scratch 3.0 has been realeased and is available for use in most browsers. Scratch
allows students to create interactive stories, games and animations through visual
