• Learners who have completed Hour of Code will find Scratch to be a great next step in their learning journey.
• No experience with Scratch is necessary but experience with a keyboard and mouse is required.
• A Scratch account is recommended in order to save projects.

Developed and maintained by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Scratch is a great way for students to learn introductory coding. Not only is Scratch fun, but by using blocks (think digital LEGOs®) instead of text, emphasis is placed on learning coding fundamentals rather than worrying about the syntax of a programming language. Scratch also brings together communities of content creators by allowing Scratchers to share their work, remix and learn from others.
