What is Scratch?
Scratch is a block-based programming which enables beginner programmers to focus 100% of their mental energy on the design and logic of their programs. In fact, Scratch was designed to create video games and stories. And who doesn’t enjoy video games? Now, you can make your own video games and share it with your friends and family. And best of all, you can continue to work on your Scratch projects at home!
For Students: age 7 to 10
