Main Idea
Students create in history a game by using the scratch software. The game is based on questions and the player earns points depending on whether he answers correctly or not. The goal of this learning scenario is students to learn and use the basic programming structures. We will guide them by providing basic information and students will find the algorithm to make the game.
