Scratch
Imagine, Program, Share
Scratch is a free, block-based visual programming language and online community developed by MIT. It enables users to create interactive stories, games, and animations by snapping together code blocks. It is primarily designed to introduce children and beginners to programming concepts in a fun, accessible way.
Users drag and snap together colorful code blocks in a web-based editor to create interactive projects, which can then be shared with the Scratch online community.
