We have developed Scratch lesson plans, to teach software development to students. Scratch is a visual programming language that makes it easy to create interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art and share these creations on the web.

  • Materials freely available on scratch.ie for primary and post-primary students on http://scratch.ie
  • Working with the PDST we have designed and delivered Scratch training to teachers through the national education centre network.
  • Lero founded the Scratch competition in 2010. See scratch.ie/competition and http://scratch.ics.ie for details on Scratch competition.
