October Half Term Dojo - Make a Platform Game in Scratch
Thursday 29 October 2026
13:00 to 15:00
29th October 2026 - 13:00 - 15:00
We are delighted to support Code Club in trialing a change in approach for some new exciting projects, and have someone coming from Code Club to join us to explain and run a session on making a platform game in Scratch.
The new approach is rather than provide step by step instructions, which a lot of projects do, but rather follow some principles and then make your own platform game. Limited only by your imagination, curiosity and cunning we hope everyone will create at least one level in their own unique game that we can play.
We are limiting numbers to 12, so please book early. Plenty of support will be available for those that need it, and for those that don't we can always offer advice!!
