We are getting some great submissions, please keep them coming. Here’s a short animation made with some we comissioned to show what you can do with Scratch. When you tell stories in your mother tongue or with images that speak to you the stories change and are we are all richer for them.

Drawing Competition

We want kids to be able to tell stories and make animations and video games with images that they know. See our drawing competition at www.codemakers.org.za/draw

Prize giving for our #SageFoundation sponsored careers and coding programme. Prizes were different ways for them to express themselves, learn, and be inspired. From the Black Panther DVD to books, to journals to write and develop their ideas, to @scisuperheroes posters, and even Raspberry Pi computers. Great job guys, keep it up over the break! Of course relax and decompress but also make some goals, and work to achieve them. #sage #kidswhocode #scratchafrica #scratchcoding #chesterville031 #durban #ethekwini #catomanor #corporaresocialinvestment

Donations Power Dreams

View this post on Instagram

So much creativity if young people are given the opportunities. Thando and his Raspberry Pi at his dad's tuck shop. He's made his entertainment brand - Drip Entertainment - and now he just needs customers. Any takers? . Thando was our overall best learner for the year, having the positive attitude, work ethic, curiosity and collaborative spirit that we hope to foster through CodeMakers. Congratulations Thando! . . Thanks to @Derivco for the donated monitor. While RPIs can be plugged into a TV, a monitor makes it their computer to use anytime however they want. #rpi #raspberrypi #scratchafrica #scratchcoding #tuckshop #chesterville031 #durban #ethekwini #southafrica #4ir
