Rainforest Coding

Rainforest Coding is a collection of adventures, activities and resources. These make Scratch programming easier to understand and great fun to learn. Explore two adventures, Return to Crystal Rainforest and Echo Island, as part of learning.  There are games to play, projects to remix and lots of sound, graphic and animation.

The adventure takes place on the beautiful Echo Island, part of the Crystal Rainforest. Things suddenly turn very ugly for the scientists living on the island when it is attacked by hundreds of evil robots.

Can you help Doctor Han find her way around the old temples, removing the robots in her way? Can you discover what is going on and who is behind the attacks? Will you be able to rescue the other scientist imprisoned by the robots?
