The Scratch Conference is an online conference for educators. Imagine, create, and connect with educators from around the world! 

Create Your Own Adventure!

On behalf of our friends at Scratch, the world’s largest coding community for kids, we’re excited to invite you to the annual, virtual Scratch Conference on July 24th - 25th. This global event brings together thousands of educators around the world to engage in exciting workshops and thought-provoking sessions exploring topics like artificial intelligence, equity in education, creative coding, and more. You’ll leave with tools and resources to support you in leading engaging, meaningful creative coding lessons in your own class or club.

Every year, a theme guides the conference programming and event tone. This year’s theme is “Create Your Own Adventure,” emphasizing the wide range of topics, networking opportunities, speakers, and more that educators can explore at the Scratch Conference.

Barefoot Computing at the Conference - 25th July 6pm - 8pm

In our role as Scratch Ecosystem leader, Barefoot will be running a Collaborative Creation Session titled Eco-Coders: using Scratch to explore renewable energy solutions in your community.

Together, we'll explore renewable energy solutions across our communities and channel our creativity into developing a Scratch game or animation.

You will have the opportunity to share how renewable technologies are used in your local community and learn from others across the world, all whilst exploring key programming concepts including sequencing, repetition and selection (objectives taken from the UK National Curriculum for Computing).
