How interesting. I didn't know that about the Scratch course at Harvard. Seems like it is a good intro for sure. Thank you!

It's a nicely designed course, and you can find a version free for any person to take online and receive a certification (with the submission of auto-graded assignments within a certain timeline): https://cs50.harvard.edu/college/2023/fall/syllabus/

The lectures are well-produced and come with detailed lecture notes, though the assignments are technically difficult to complete. You can find the materials for Week 0 on Scratch is at: https://cs50.harvard.edu/college/2024/spring/weeks/0/

It's not a Scratch course, they just use Scratch in the first week of a programming course which uses C, Python, JavaScript, SQL.
