Scratch is the world’s largest free coding community for kids aged 8 through 16, but it is enjoyed by people of any age. It was created and is run by MIT, and it is a lot of fun! Scratch, like other block-based coding languages, is a good place for kids to start programming. They will learn about coding structure without needing to worry about a lot of syntax. The pieces of code are each in block format, and the programming is done by connecting blocks to describe the animation of objects that they also create.

Scratch Jr is appropriate for early elementary aged students and does not require reading. Understanding of logical concepts, ordering and relating objects to each other is required.
