Raspberry Pi Foundation’s Post

Looking for more #Scratch activities to do with your kids? In this project, they will design and build a top-down view, obstacle or platform, parkour game. Their character will need to jump, hop, glide, bounce, or fly to catch a ride on moving platforms and make it to the end 🏃♂️➡️ They can also adjust the difficulty of a game, so that it’s fun to play!

Our team had a great time at Peterborough STEM Festival promoting Code Club yesterday 🙌 We had so many great conversations with parents and teachers about how they can get involved with our programmes and many were shocked to find out that they’re all free to access. It was great to see Ruth Amos from Kids Invent Stuff and Colin Furze too, the Invention Show was awesome! A big thank you to Marc Scott, Toby P., Sean Sayers as well as our local volunteers Richard Wishart and Austin for helping to deliver the activities ⭐ If you’re interested in setting up your own Code Club visit: rpf.io/code-club #LearnToCode #STEMEducation #CodeClub
