Questions
What is Scratch?
Scratch is a free block-based coding tool made by MIT. Children snap blocks together to make stories, animations and games.
Does my child need to know typing?
No. Scratch uses drag-and-drop blocks, so very little typing is needed.
What will my child make?
An animated story, a few animations and at least one complete game.
What comes after Scratch?
Children can move to Python for Kids to learn text-based coding.
