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.
