Scratch

Dad was pleased this evening when Sam asked him to help with something. He was coding his own platform game in Scratch! The subroutine that was giving Sam difficulty was when the avatar walked off the edge of a platform, she floated and did not fall. Dad helped Sam resolve the issue fairly quickly. He also gave Sam ideas for some cool game levels that night when they were at Fuddruckers. He’ll have to see later if Sam’s finished game has the "button-code wall" or "meteor shower" levels that Dad had suggested. Sam also woke up early the next day to continue working on the game. And if you know Sam, that's some pretty serious dedication.

Sam signed up for a Scratch camp in the summer, but unfortunately the camp did not have enough people signed up and was canceled.
