students to explore and imagine. By engaging in design-based
activity individually or in groups, students will develop a
greater motivation to learn.
Here are just a few of the things that students have used
Scratch to do:

• A school in New York City used Scratch to build simulations
of the spread of infectious diseases.
• A group of teenagers in India used Scratch to make an
animated map of their village, illustrating environmental
concerns where they live.

• Students at a university in Istanbul are using Scratch to
examine video game culture by rapidly prototyping their
own games and testing the games with the public.
• English students in a middle school in California used
Scratch to build a random story generator.
• Students in an elementary school in Russia used Scratch to
build their own personalized tutorials for learning about the
coordinate system and trigonometry.
• High school students in Michigan used Scratch to build a
physics simulator.
The possibilities are endless. It is our sincere hope that this
book inspires you to create your own games, stories, and more.
