About Activity

Have you played a video game before? Ever wondered how they create the game and design a controller to let you play?

With this activity, we will create our own simple video game by programming in Scratch, then we’ll use the Makey Makey kit to create a game controller that we can use to play it! See how you can start from square one and get gaming from scratch!
