Scratch Education Collaborative

"Creating with purpose"

Creating with Purpose is a transformative educational initiative by the Creative Child Foundation aimed at empowering underserved children across Uganda with essential 21st-century skills in creative computing, digital literacy, and innovation.

Through this project funded by the Scratch Foundation, we provide engaging teaching guides, interactive worksheets, and unplugged creative computing tools, enabling over 500 teachers and 10,000 students from marginalized communities, including slum areas, refugee camps, and rural regions, to explore computer programming and problem-solving in a fun-filled environment.

Currently piloted in schools and community-based organizations, this project aims to scale nationwide, ensuring that all learners—regardless of background—have access to quality, engaging education that prepares them for the digital future.

Empowering Teachers & Parents with Engaging Teaching Guides

Our thoughtfully designed teaching guides and parent resources equip educators and guardians with the tools they need to inspire creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving in children. These guides offer step-by-step lesson plans, interactive worksheets, and hands-on activities tailored to introduce computer programming, creative computing, and real-world problem-solving in a fun and accessible way. Whether you're a teacher bringing innovation into your classroom or a parent supporting learning at home, our resources are designed to foster curiosity and empower children aged 6 to 18 with 21st-century skills. Together, let’s shape the next generation of innovators and changemakers.
