SCRATCH LEARNING SESSION BY QUEST ALLIANCE MODULE 1 TO 6

Quest Alliance uses the Scratch coding platform to empower young people with 21st-century abilities, notably in STEM subjects. They integrate Scratch into their programs to foster computational thinking, problem-solving, and artistic expression, with a focus on reaching underserved areas.

Quest Alliance uses Scratch as follows:

1. Scratch Learning Session By QUEST ALLIANCE

Digital Proficiency in Secondary Education:

Quest Alliance and AMD collaborated to create a self-study toolset for government schools that uses Scratch to teach students computer science and game design principles.

My Code initiative: Developed with AMD's assistance, this initiative focuses on using Scratch to educate coding and career exploration.

Scratch Day Events: Students from different schools and areas frequently participate in Scratch Day events, which are organized by Quest Alliance to promote coding, creativity, and teamwork.

Scratch Education Collaborative: Along with other international organizations, they were chosen for the first cohort of the Scratch Education Collaborative, which aims to equip students from underserved communities with creative computing abilities.

STEM Clubs and Hackathons: To promote experiential learning and problem-solving, Quest Alliance uses Scratch in STEM clubs and hackathons.

Equity Focus: Their initiatives seek to guarantee that all students, particularly those from underrepresented groups, have access to computer science opportunities and to address gender gaps in STEM sectors.

In general, Quest Alliance uses Scratch as a tool to: Engage students in a fun and interesting way when introducing them to coding.

Develop your ability to think critically and solve problems.

Encourage self-expression and creativity by using digital projects.

Give youth the 21st-century skills they will need for their future employment.

Close the digital divide and advance educational equity.

SCRATCH FOUNDATION MISSION

At the Scratch Foundation, our mission is to ensure that Scratch is available for free, for everyone, so that kids around the world can express their ideas through coding. As champions of the Scratch project, we raise funds to support the project and share stories of innovation, collaboration, and learning within the global Scratch community. We focus on Scratch, the block-based programming language and online community developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. Scratch makes it easy for young people to create their own interactive media projects -- like games, animations, and simulations -- and then share their creations with others in an active, online community. Scratch is available for free, for everyone. And that's why the Scratch Foundation is so important. Through gifts from individuals, corporations, and foundations, we raise funds to support the entire Scratch ecosystem, including development of new technologies, organization of events, and dissemination of learning resources. We were founded in 2013 as the Code-to-Learn Foundation by Mitchel Resnick, Professor of Learning Research at the MIT Media Lab, and David Siegel, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of the investment management firm Two Sigma. Mitch and David first met as graduate students in computer science at MIT in the 1980s, and reconnected 25 years later when David's son learned to program with Scratch, developed by Mitch's research group at the MIT Media Lab. In 2015, we changed our name to the Scratch Foundation to reflect our specific focus on Scratch and its dynamic ecosystem of interacting projects (Scratch, ScratchJr, ScratchEd) and events (Scratch Day, Scratch Conference, Scratch Educator Meetups).
