Co-creativity in Scratch

< Co-creativity
 * Dutch: Co-creativiteit in Scratch

Introduction

 * MIT created a platform called Scratch on which children can learn the basics of programming.
 * But they also created a community. So children can learn about co-creativity.
 * In 2020 the Scratch movement created a 4-day Scratch workshop. On day 1 and 2 the children learn some basic skills. On day 3 and 4 we want them to design a game and experience co-creation in the classroom.

Design a game

 * On day 3 and 4 of the workshop children are going to (co-)create a game.
 * Before day 3 they make a design for their game: a game design, a drawing, etc.
 * Some of the designs can be discussed in class. The goal is to go into a dialogue about some designs. How can the design be improved?

Co-creation in the classroom

 * Scratch created an ecosystem with thousands of children sharing their creations, helping each other.
 * On day 3 and 4 of the workshop we would like to facilitate a co-creation experience.
 * The plan is to share challenges in Scratch on the digiboard.
