2025 STEAM EXPO

The Judges Committee has awarded this submission Excellence in Scratch Storytelling

PROJECT SUMMARY

This is a funny and creative story about a dragon who is very cold and decides to go find the Sun. Along the way, he meets silly characters like a lazy pair of shoes and a shark that prefers watching Netflix. I used Scratch to create the story with backgrounds, sounds, and dialogues. My goal was to make people laugh while learning how to code better.

WHY?

I love stories, and I wanted to make my own. Sometimes Scratch projects are just games, but I wanted to make people laugh. I also wanted to show that even if you are small (like the dragon), you can solve your problems—with a little help and humor!

HOW?

First, I created my dragon and picked the places he would visit. Then I added the other sprites: a shark, a pair of shoes, and the Sun. I used the “hide” and “show” blocks to make them appear only in their scene. I used “say” blocks for the dialogues and added funny lines. I also used “wait” blocks and sounds to make the story feel like a real cartoon.

WHAT?

I learned that Scratch is more than just moving sprites, it’s like writing a script for a movie. I also learned how to use blocks in a better order and fix bugs when things don’t work. And I learned that humor makes everything more fun!

SO WHAT?

I made people laugh! That means my story worked. Also, I used coding to share a message in a creative way. I think this project shows that stories can teach, entertain, and connect people and you can do it with just code and ideas.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Next, I want to make a version where the player can choose where the dragon goes, like a game-book. I also want to add more jokes or even music in the background. Maybe the next adventure will be about a dragon who wants to learn how to dance.

REFERENCES & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I got the ideas for the jokes from my own imagination and cartoons I like. I thank Ms Cielo for helping me with the order of the blocks and giving me ideas for making it better.

JUDGES FEEDBACK

You did an excellent job creating your dragon story in Scratch! I loved how you used the coding blocks to bring your dragon to life, showing strong creativity and programming skills . Your story was engaging and fun to follow. One thing to think about is organizing your code with clear comments can help others understand your project better. Keep practicing your coding and storytelling—you’re building amazing skills that will take you far!
