This week, I will demonstrate our an example of what your "Calculate Distances Between Planets" program may look like. To complete this program, you need the following skills:
- know about "broadcast" and "when I receive" blocks (look in Events section)
- know about Data: Variables and Lists (look in Data)
- know about custom blocks (look in More Blocks)
- have a gallery to share your work in so I can find it (see last week's lesson)

I will demonstrate how to make a program called "Make Cat Jump". To see the final product, look here:

Create your own "Make Cat Jump" program, and save it in the gallery you created last week.

Using Scratch off-line, today we will make a program that has a cat chasing the cursor. Watch the video below for instructions:

Save your work to your local lap top.

This week, we will demonstrate:
- how to use Help
- how to add project notes
- how to share a project
- how to create a studio (call it "AcadecapXX Class Work", where XX are your initials), and invite BlueHeron (that's me, Mme Sarah) to curate it too
- how to add projects to a studio
Don't forget: when you need help, put your name on the list on the board!
