Scratch

Program stories, games and animations and share them

About Scratch

Scratch is MIT's free block-based programming platform where children create interactive stories, games, and animations and share them with a global community. Young creators learn programming logic through making things they care about. In practice, learners use it in short, regular sessions rather than long courses, and buyers usually compare it on content quality, feedback, and whether progress is tracked clearly over time.
