SCRATCH PROJECT

Group Chat

In the Group Chat project, students will create a simple conversation between a boy and a girl in a school setting using ScratchJr.

Both characters will walk toward each other and then talk using message (say) blocks, just like real-life conversation.

This project helps students understand how characters communicate step by step using coding blocks.
