See this forum post for more information on the event: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/789167 Scratch has teamed up with inspiring young scientist and innovator Gitanjali Rao to celebrate Hour of Code 2024. We’ve created two activities to explore and remix, inspired by her innovations and advocacy. We also invite you to join us for a live Create-Along with Gitanjali and Maren from the Scratch Team on December 10th, at 1pm ET, on our official YouTube channel (youtube.com/c/ScratchTeam). In the first activity option, you can remix our Invention Station starter project or create your own original project that shares your invention design and the invention’s goal or purpose through text and/or a voice recording.
