Scratchathon Season 1

Unleashing Creativity Through Code

The Scratchathon Competition brought together young, enthusiastic coders for an exciting challenge filled with creativity, teamwork, and innovation. Designed for children and beginners, this event introduced participants to the world of programming through Scratch, MIT’s block-based coding platform loved worldwide for its simplicity and creativity.

From imaginative stories to action-packed games, participants amazed the audience with projects that reflected their skills, passion, and originality.

Inspiring Kickoff

The event began with a warm welcome and an overview of the challenge theme. Participants were briefed on the rules, judging criteria, and coding expectations before diving into their projects.

Hands-On Coding Session

Participants spent focused time building their Scratch projects live. Whether working individually or in teams, they explored loops, variables, sprites, sounds, and creative visual effects.

Mentor Support

Experienced mentors were present to guide participants, answer questions, and help them solve bugs — all while encouraging deeper thinking and problem-solving.

Project Presentations

Each participant had the opportunity to present their completed project. They showcased their storylines, gameplay mechanics, characters, and coding logic, explaining how their idea came to life step by step.

Judging & Feedback

Judges evaluated the projects based on:

• Creativity
• Functionality
• Theme relevance
• User experience
• Overall presentation

Constructive feedback helped participants understand their strengths and areas to grow.
