Scratch

With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share your creations with others in the online community.

Scratch is used in more than 150 different countries and available in more than 40 languages.

The game and creation system work entirely within your web browser without any special hardware or software to install.

Start learning and making at the Scratch website.

Young people can use Scratch to code their own interactive stories, animations, and games. In the process, they learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively  — essential skills for everyone in today’s society. Educators are integrating Scratch across many different subject areas and age groups.
