Tweens ages 9-13, are invited to join The Rhode Island Computer Museum on Saturday, March 26 from 2:30-4pm for a workshop called “Make Your Own Video Game.” This is a great chance to put down your controllers and take time to learn interactive software titled “Scratch” and create your own “video game” sample. Presented by the R.I.C.M. learning team, the program will also include a discussion on “Historic Video Games.” The discussion aims to explain the impact of Early Video Games and then teach the MIT developed youth program “Scratch.” Scratch is a computer program developed to teach software coding and allows participants to create their own “video game” sample. The workshop aims to explain how early video games were made and give students new skills to develop their own games.

Registration is required and begins 3/19.
