# 🐱 Scratch Basics (BGE)

In this section, pupils will learn the key building blocks of programming using Scratch. They will create interactive programs using sprites, code blocks, and events.

### ⌨️ **Input**

**Input** is how a program receives data from the user.\
In Scratch, this is often done using keyboard presses, mouse clicks, or asking questions.

Examples include:

* Pressing a key
* Clicking a sprite
* Typing an answer

***

### ⚙️ **Process**

**Process** is where the program works with the data.\
In Scratch, this might include calculations or changing variables.

***

### 🖥️ **Output**

**Output** is what the program shows to the user.\
In Scratch, this can be visuals, sounds, or messages.

Examples include:

* Saying something using speech bubbles
* Changing costumes
* Playing sounds

➡️ *Insert video here*

***

### 🔀 **Selection**

**Selection** allows the program to make decisions.\
Scratch uses **if** and **if else** blocks to control what happens.

***

### 🧭 **Sequencing**

**Sequencing** means instructions are followed in order.\
The order of blocks in Scratch affects how the program behaves.

***

### 🔄 **Iteration**

**Iteration** means repeating code.\
In Scratch, this is done using loops like **repeat** and **forever**.

### 🎮 **Mini Project**

Now it’s time to bring everything together.

Create a Scratch project that uses:

* Input (e.g. key press or mouse click)
* Process (changing values or calculations)
* Output (movement, sound, or speech)
* Selection
* Sequencing
* Iteration

➡️ *Insert project video here*
