Students will learn how to program their own interactive stories and games using the free online program called Scratch. They will learn the basic concepts of programming, problem solving, conceptualizing and expressing their creativity.
Scratch is a visual programming language created by the MIT Media Lab in 2007. Its interface with colorful blocks makes it one of the most intuitive programming languages to learn for children of all ages. It is used around the world to introduce children to the basics of programming.

The Night of Code is an international programming competition organized by the Lycée Français de Taipei. It is open to all French high schools in the world: the 2021 competition will take place online in the participating schools.
Participants will have to program a game entirely with Scratch software from a provided game world. The event will last 6 hours. The main evaluation criteria will be the playability of the project, creativity and technique (complexity of the code). During these 6 hours, students will test their ability to work in groups, their algorithmic and mathematical skills.
Our facilitators will offer a specific and adapted curriculum that will help volunteers prepare for this competition.

Minecraft is a virtual “sand game”, an electronic terrain where users can create their own universes and try their hand at different experiences using the diverse and varied resources offered by the platform.
Minecraft is a ‘sandbox game’. This means that it’s a virtual land where users can create their own worlds and experiences, using building blocks, resources discovered on the site and their own creativity. We will use Minecraft for Education Edition for this course.
Discover the computer world through your favorite video game!
