Welcome to an exploration of algorithmic art. In this Digital Skill, students will use Scratch to create an abstract piece of art that is created by code. We call this algorithmic art since your art piece will be created by an algorithm - or a set of rules. For instance can you create a Circle Packing algorithm in Scratch such that a series of circles randomly appear but never touch or overlap?
Students will want to check out our Circle Packing sample here - feel free to remix it and make it your own.

Here is an introduction to Scratch coding with Wylie Butler.
In this video, join our friends at Creative Labs and learn about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These 17 goals are all interconnected and constitute the blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all.
Take action and be the change you want to see in your world.
Join Kate and Sophie as they build a free-standing structure using natural elements. What will their structure symbolize? Who will see their creation? Will it hold up to wind and other weather elements? Can you build your own structure using other elements?
Rejoignez Kate et Sophie pendant qu'elles construisent une structure en utilisant des éléments naturels. Que symbolisera leur structure? Qui verra leur création? Résistera-t-elle au vent et aux autres éléments météorologiques? Pouvez-vous construire votre propre structure en utilisant d'autres éléments?

If you are a maker educator, we know you are going to appreciate this conversation. In this episode, Jacob chats with children’s book author, Katey Howes. Katey joined us last week for a read aloud of her book “Be A Maker.” While publisher restrictions will not permit us to keep that read aloud active past June 30th, 2020, we wanted to capture her dedication to maker empowerment in another way. Over the next 36 minutes, Katey and Jacob discuss the role of empathy, collaboration and community in making. Ok - they actually talk about much more including a brief dialogue where they ponder the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in humanity’s drive to collaborate.
Here at Brilliant Labs, we are thrilled to find guests who are as passionate about making and intrigued about the pedagogical implications born from that maker journey. We hope you have a listen and share in this conversation via twitter or any of our other social media feeds.
We encourage you to take the time to pick up Katey’s book “Be A Maker,” and leave her a review letting her know what you think of her book. During the podcast, Katey also discusses a couple of her sources of inspiration that you may want to check out - those are linked below.

Go outside and create your own code-able game with chalk. Create a grid, perhaps 6X6 or any size of your choice. Choose a few squares as your spray zones. One person is a robot and the other is the programmer. The programmer instructs the robot on how to get to a coloured (spray zone) square. If successful, then the programmer gets to spray the robot.
Sortez et créez votre propre jeu cod-able à la craie. Créez une grille, peut-être 6X6 ou de la taille de votre choix. Choisissez quelques carrés comme zones de pulvérisation. Une personne est un robot et l'autre est le programmeur. Le programmeur indique au robot comment se rendre à un carré de couleur (zone de pulvérisation). S'il réussit, le programmeur peut alors pulvériser le robot.
