RecycleRight Scratch coding games project 2019
Richmond Tweed Regional Library (RTRL) and four of our member councils are happy to present the best projects from our 2019 RecycleRight Coding program.
As our communities move towards new recycling changes, the RecyleRight coding program challenged local coders to create games and animations that can help teach our communities how to recycle. This fun program allowed participants to explore our new recycling rules, and create dynamic ways to show others how to RecycleRight. Over one hundred coders participated across RTRL, with the majority aged between seven to twelve years.

We hope you have as much fun playing the games as we did making them.
Below are some of the games from our community. Have fun and enjoy. All care has been taken to ensure the content is appropriate for audiences and all links are provided in good faith however no responsibility is taken by RTRL for linked content.
