🚀 Making & Learning for Everyone! ♿💡

At Scratch Tactile, we believe learning should always be inclusive! When Elizabeth, a 6-year-old blind student, joined Leslie Johnson & Erica Simone New York school, they used 3D printing to create tactile learning tools. 🙌

Fifth graders mentored first graders, designing and printing Braille blocks, language aids, and more—learning empathy, creativity, and inclusion along the way! 💙✨

🚗✨ Bernat loves parking cars and Scratch Tactile! That’s why at the Montserrat Abelló Public Library in Barcelona, we created this easy, unplugged project: “Parking Cars”! 🎮💡

🌟 How does it work?
1️⃣ We printed a parking background. 🅿️
2️⃣ Bernat built a car using playdoh. 🚙
3️⃣ He coded the car to park safely! (Watch out for crashes! 😅)

🌟 Let’s Draw with Loops using Tactile Jr! 🌟

Hello teachers and parents! Today, we bring you Activity 3.3 from our Tactile Jr series: Drawing with Loops!

1️⃣ Place a marker in a central square and create a program with arrows to draw a simple geometric shape or pattern. 2️⃣ Try adding loop blocks to repeat all or part of the program and see what happens! 🎨 3️⃣ Ask your classmates to draw your program and try changing the color with each repetition. 🖍️ 4️⃣ What have you been able to create using loops? Amazing! 5️⃣ Use blank blocks to invent a function, like drawing something in a specific square.

Can you think of variations for this activity? Try them out with your classmates!

📝 Drawing with loops is a fantastic way to learn programming and creativity with Tactile Jr. Have fun and explore new possibilities!
