Scratch is a programming language and an online community where children can program and share interactive media such as stories, games, and animation with people from all over the world. As children create with Scratch, they learn to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically.
Scratch is designed especially for ages 8 to 16 (but is used by people of all ages), available in more than 40 languages, and used in more than 150 countries. Millions of people are creating Scratch projects in a wide variety of settings, including homes, schools, museums, libraries, and community centers!
