Completing this Quest

Congratulations on finishing your first animation.  

Head on over to the Scratch website and take a look at some projects that others have done. If you see something cool take a look at the blocks to see if you can figure out how it works.  

Gather some ideas, because next is the Quest Up the Ante to learn about programming/coding.
