Activities ACTIVITY 5: Empathize with blindness Download 1 Cover your eyes with a scarf or mask Explore the different blocks and try to recognize them by touching them 2 Reflect 3 Has it been easy? How many blocks have you recognized correctly? Would you know how to fit them together to make a program or read it? How do you think a person with blindness or low vision feels? How do you think you can learn or what kind of help do you need to learn? 4 Make different programs or challenges with Scratch Tactile with your eyes covered 5 Ideas You can use the “I have low vision” app to understand the different visual impairments that exist and how they are often combined with each other. Try to see through the application: a text in a magazine or a screen, a video or a photo, recognize objects in the environment, recognize and orient yourself in space, recognize the blocks and make a program, etc. 6 Other ideas You can try to put the students in the shoes of people with motor disabilities, for example, someone who cannot move their fingers. How can you interact with a computer? How can you make a program with Scratch Tactile?

Activities ACTIVITY 6: Create a game Download 1 Imagine a game for two players Each player has a character and a goal 2 For example, the “gat” has to catch the “butterfly” and the “butterfly" has to escape You can draw a background with objects or obstacles 3 4 Each player codes their character and then moves it, taking turns 5 Ideas An idea: the characters can be coded and moved one after the other or they can be secretly coded at the same time, and then show the program and move them. You choose the rules What if each player has two characters? What if there are 3 or 4 players? What if there are objects in the game that interact with the characters? 6 Other ideas If you prefer a single player game, have you thought about making a maze, or a word soup? Imagine a challenge... and it's about programming the solution... Remember that you can change the background so that your game goes through different scenarios or screens and thus make it more fun!
