Learn how to make your own video game and help design an interactive exhibit for the Jaywick Martello tower museum.
Create your own exciting 2D arcade games and share it online for others to play and enjoy. Using Scratch, you’ll learn to program your own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share your creations with others in the online community.
You’ll also test an early prototype for a new interactive exhibit to be installed in the Jaywick Martello tower, helping to shape the final design to go on display later this year.
No experience or equipment required. All materials are provided by Signals.
