Let's start by creating a new Scratch project. First, go to the Scratch website by clicking here.
Once you're on the Scratch website, click on 'Create' to start a new project. You will see a cat sprite on the screen.
Go to the Scratch website using the link below and click on the 'Create' link in the blue bar at the top.
By default, each new project starts with the cat sprite already added. To delete the cat click on the x in the blue circle beside the cat in the sprite list.
Begin coding the cat’s walk by dragging the "when green flag clicked" block from the Events section into the coding area. This will start the animation when you click the green flag.
To make the cat move across the screen, add the "move 10 steps" block from the Motion section under the green flag block. This will make the cat take a step forward.
Chromebooks, laptops, and PCs are crucial tools for coding and digital skills education. Chromebooks are ideal for web-based applications and collaborative projects, while laptops and PCs support a wider range of programming environments and software for more intensive tasks like software development and data analysis.

Next, we need to make the cat change costumes as it moves, so it looks like it’s walking. Drag the "next costume" block from the Looks section and place it under the "move 10 steps" block.

To keep the walking smooth, add the "wait 0.2 seconds" block from the Control section underneath the "next costume" block. This will control how quickly the cat changes costumes and moves forward, making the walk look natural.
