At it&#8217;s core, Scratch enables the visualization of coding and outputs immediate results for students. This creates a creative environment allowing students to explore.&nbsp; Coding with Scratch is great!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Panda Programmer offers Scratch for kids in any of our classes located around Montgomery County, Maryland. All equipment is provided, however students are allowed to bring their own if they wish. Accounts enable students to save their work, allowing complicated projects to come together over time. As it may be viewed from any computer once logged in, students are easily able to show off their work to friends and parents.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">If you wish to create a Scratch account,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pandaprogrammer.com\/instructions-for-setting-up-a-scratch-account\/\">click here for instructions<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-90a567f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"90a567f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2ebe95c\" data-id=\"2ebe95c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc101b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dc101b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Scratch User Interface<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c29406d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c29406d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #7a7a7a;\">Scratch&#8217;s User Interface was specifically designed for coding with kids.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 1rem;\">The designers of Scratch divided the interface into three main sections: a block palette, a staging area, and a coding area.
