Welcome to the Creative Coding Challenge Pathway B.

We understand that some schools, including NSW Department of Education schools, may be limited in which coding platforms they are permitted to use. In particular, Scratch Online may not be available in some schools because it includes online community features such as public sharing, comments, and social interaction.

✅ To support all teachers and students, we provide safer coding options for this challenge.

🎯 Students May Use:

Choose the option that best suits your school’s policy and device environment. All options below are designed for safe, offline-capable coding.

⚠️ Please note: Some platforms may require school approval or third-party parental approval, depending on each school’s policy.

🔒 The MRT Scratch Coding App is designed for learning and competition use.

It does not include Scratch Online’s public sharing, chat, comments, or social community features.
