Head to <a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #005498; line-height: inherit;">http://scratch.mit.edu/</a> and sign up for an account on MIT’s website by clicking <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Join Scratch</strong> atop the page. Any username (that’s available) is fine, but take care to remember it and your choice of password.</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Then head to <a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/help/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #005498; line-height: inherit;">http://scratch.mit.edu/help/</a> and take note of the resources available to you before you dive into Scratch itself. In particular, you might want to skim the <a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/scratchr2/static/__1378420408__//pdfs/help/Getting-Started-Guide-Scratch2.pdf" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #005498; line-height: inherit;">Getting Started Guide</a>.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Next head to <a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/26329354/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #005498; line-height: inherit;">http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/26329354/</a> to see <em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Pikachu’s Pastry Catch</em> by Gabe Walker. Click the blue square above the game’s top-left corner if you’d like to full-screen the user interface (UI). Then click the green flag. Per Gabe’s instructions, as soon as you hit your keyboard’s space bar, the game will begin! Feel free to procrastinate a bit. And if you’d like to try out <em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Ivy’s Hardest Game</em>, by Carlos Peña-Lobel, head to <a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/26329347/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #005498; line-height: inherit;">http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/26329347/</a>.</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
If you’ve no experience (or comfort) whatsoever with programming, rest assured that Gabe’s and Carlos’s projects are more complex than what we expect for this first problem set. (Click <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">See inside</strong> in Scratch’s top-right corner to look at each project’s underlying "implementation details.") But they do reveal what you can do with Scratch.</div>

<div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
In fact, for a gentler introduction to Scratch (and programming more generally), you might want to review some of the examples that we looked at in Week 0’s second lecture and take a look at a few more, the "source code" for which can be found at<a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/studios/522341/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #005498; line-height: inherit;">http://scratch.mit.edu/studios/522341/</a>. Allow me to take you on a tour, though feel free to forge ahead on your own if you’d prefer:</div>
