Speak up for the environment with coding!
Bring your own story to life! How? By coding! Make your characters walk onto the stage, glide and move in the scene of your choice! You will speak up for the environment by creating your own video!
Warm up
Together with your buddy, find an environmental topic that you would like to raise awareness about, for example deforestation, bottom trawling, air pollution, nuclear waste, carbon footprint, decreasing biodiversity.

With your buddy:

- Write code for sprites to have a conversation.
- Write code to change background scenes.
- Write code to add sounds or music.
- Bonus: record a sound and add it to your project!
Tip: Check out the KIDS4ALLL tutorials, they will help you to develop your content!
