This month, we’re building creative Scratch skills that help projects stand out. From importing sprites and backdrops and editing costumes, it’s all about giving creators the confidence to make something their own.
With World Bee Day on Wednesday 20 May, it’s the perfect moment to put these Scratch skills into action, using nature as inspiration to create, remix, and reimagine.
Project of the month: Butterfly garden
Celebrate World Bee Day with Scratch! This beginner-friendly animation project is perfect for remixing and transforming into a buzzing bee paradise.
Set your creators a challenge to reimagine this project.
Featured workshop: Scratch remix — make it your own!
Turn a simple Scratch project into your own. Learn to customise projects by importing sprites and backgrounds and editing costumes — then take these ideas back to your Code Club to support creators to personalise their work.
You can now enter micro:bit and MakeCode Arcade projects to Coolest Projects using a link. Watch our guide to get started.
The Coolest Projects online showcase is an opportunity for creators anywhere in the world to share the things they've made with code. Entries will close on 27 May 2026. We can't wait to see what you create!
Know an organisation ready to become a Code Club partner?
We’re looking for the next cohort of Code Club Incubator Partners — and we’d love your help.
Our global partners are organisations around the world who grow networks of Code Clubs in their communities, helping young people learn to code and create with technology.
Do you know an organisation that could do the same in their region?
Connect with the community at our next online ‘Coffee and Conversation’ meetup on Thursday 28 May. This informal meetup is a chance to share experiences and ask questions.
Join Nuala and discuss how our new unplugged projects are working in your club, explore the latest Code Club resources, and share your project ideas to help shape what we create next.
