In this club, students will learn about the differences between Scratch and Bitsbox by working on their own Bitsbox projects. They’ll build apps, program an interactive quiz, and create their own Angry Birds game.Students will gain important computer literacy skills, learn simple JavaScript concepts, and create their own original work.
