Teaching basic programming principles such as variables, selection structures, repetition structures, and event handling.

Scratch is a visual programming language developed at MIT, in order to make it easier to create animations, develop games and other interactive work type projects.

Through a series of activities and games based on creative thinking, students learn how to apply their mathematical skills and use programming code. At the end of the course, students develop their own video game which will then share with their CTY Greece Online instructor and classmates.

Prior programming knowledge and skills are not required, though students should be familiar with using an internet browser, and need to have basic computer skills (e.g. cut & past, email attachments, etc.) No book or software purchase is required.

Do you even wonder what weather is? Do you question the phenomena happening around you? Are you marveled by the idea of exploring the science behind the weather?

Then, join the Weather Investigators to find out more…

Did you know that there are different kinds of rain, snow and wind? Did you know that we are experiencing certain weather phenomena in specific parts of the world for a reason? Did you know that the weather map is constantly changing? Have you ever wondered why?

In this investigative journey students enrich their knowledge on weather phenomena and discover how science and technology help us forecast the weather. At the same time, they become aware of the impact human activity has on the emergence of extreme weather and how extreme weather affects our lives.
