In each day of Scratch games,
you have used computer science to solve difficult problems.
Take a look back at all you've accomplished
and learned in just eight days.
On your first day, you shared about
a game that interests you.
On day two, you created a racing game
with events and repeat blocks.
On day three, you created a maze game
and used if statements for the first time.
On day four, you explored and created a platform game,
one of the most popular genres of early video games.
On day five, you created a chaser game
that introduced the timer variable.
On day six, you created a launcher game
which required the use of variables.
On day seven, you created a role playing game.

And today, you programmed a complex scrolling backdrop game.
This club may be ending today, but that doesn't mean
your computer science journey has to end.
You can continue to access your Scratch account and
all of your Scratch projects after this club ends.
The screencasts and activities you worked on
are also available on the CS First website.
You can explore any of the other available themes.
Scratch has a large community of other computer scientists
who, like you, are learning and creating with Scratch.
From the Scratch website, you can explore and comment
on other people's creations and share your own.
Scratch and computer science can also be
useful tools for class projects.
Consider using Scratch to create an interactive story,
presentation, or game the next time
you're asked to create a school project.
In high school, you may have the chance
to take a computer science course.
As a CS First club member, you should feel prepared for
whatever your next computer science experience may be.
Believe it or not, only 30 to 40 years ago,
very few people owned computers.
Today, computers are everywhere.
Nearly every school and workplace relies
on computers to do their job.
In CS First, you took an important first step
in learning computer science skills that,
no matter your path in life, will definitely be important.
The CS First team would like to thank you and
congratulate you on all that you accomplished in this club.
The future will be a better place
with more computer scientists like you
who understand how to program and use technology.
