In this tutorial, we will be learning about the traditional medicine semaa (tobacco) as it’s used by many First Nation groups and how to grow your own. Traditional tobacco is very different from commercial tobacco and is one of the four sacred medicines.

Gon’ Phising is a game built to provide an opportunity to experience a variety of phishing attempts and become familiar with the signs of a phishing email.

In this tutorial, you will learn about the differences between vector graphics and raster graphics (also called bitmap graphics or pixel graphics) and how they are used in Scratch as well as how to use Inkscape to make vector-based art for use in Scratch.

In this series, the basics of Scratch will be introduced to provide learners with the foundational skills required to begin creating in Scratch.

In this Scratch Mix and Match bonus challenge, we’ll look at what works and what doesn’t work when you want to make a sprite hide and then be found.

Step by step coding can be a very difficult process to go through, even the tiniest mistake can result in a bug that crashes the game. A great way to display this is through cooking, and what better food than pizza!

Design your own Fantasy map for DIY offline and online gaming.
