Due: Complete by Wednesday, Jan. 21.

This assignment is our introduction to Scratch. Make sure you complete it, as the other Scratch assignments depend on it.

• Go to scratch.mit.edu and create an account. Important: you will be submitting Scratch assignments publicly using this account name so make sure that the name is private so no one knows whose assigments are whose.
• Email your scratch account name and your name to: tsoule@cs.uidaho.edu and macp6269@vandals.uidaho.edu, with the subject "Scratch account". (I and the TAs do need to know the account names so we can grade the projects.)
• Once you are logged into Scratch go to the course Scratch studio at http://scratch.mit.edu/studios/839114/. Within it there should be several Scratch scripts, including two titled "Introduction to Scratch" and "Basic Interactions". Run both scripts.
• For the script "Basic Interactions", use the "see inside" and "remix" buttons to access the scripts in the project. Experiment with changing the script. Change the dialog, add more dialog, change where the sprites move, try adding a background. For this assignment you don't need to turn anything you do in so have fun.
• Go to the main Scratch page (www.scratch.mit.edu). Find and run three projects that look interesting. Use the see inside button to look at the scripts, see if you can understand how they work and/or try modifying them.
