Girl Scouts: Interactive Computing with Scratch and PicoBoards


Create a pickle that plays music. See how fast you react when you hear a sound. Create your own game controller. Scratch is free software that you can use to create 2-D animations, games, art, music and more. PicoBoards add the ability to connect Scratch to the real world through a light sensor, sound sensor, slider, and resistance sensors.
