Adèle and Oscar have their eyes riveted on their computers at the media library. The two cousins apply themselves to programming the hero of the video game they are creating: a bat that must escape a bell by moving from left to right. They are supported by Vincent Richer, digital manager of the Apostrophe, who coordinates this workshop at the media library.
For three years, every short school vacation, it has offered children from 7 years of age to learn about programming. Objective of the workshop, Wednesday October 27: create your video game using Scratch software.
The Apostrophe media library introduced children to programming and code by offering them the opportunity to make their own video game.
“We want to allow children to learn programming through video games and simple software” explains Vincent Richer. The workshop begins with a presentation of the programming. “The code is like a language with a set of sentences and instructions to follow”, summarizes Vincent Richer. First step, create your character and allow him to move in the decor thanks to the writing of simple lines of codes.

All Saints’ Day workshops for children at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Chartres
Apprentice programmers of all levels
Among the eight children in the workshop, code initiators like Clément, a college student “I learned on my own at the CDI. I like to have fun with software, ”explains the boy who got ahead of the class. In his colorful decor, he adds balloons and clouds.
Most of the workshop participants are beginners like Andrew. Helped by his grandmother, he assembles a list of commands that will allow his deadly apple to face the cat, the hero of his game. “I’m going to be able to play lots of games”, rejoices Andrew.
At the childhood and youth center of Nogent-le-Rotrou, we celebrate Halloween differently
Leave with your game
As for Adèle and Oscar, we can’t wait to put the final touch to their game: the soundtrack. At the end of the workshop, everyone leaves with their video game downloaded on their USB key. Make way for the game.
