This is for kids, to teach coding—but adults could have some fun with this tool as well. Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art — and share your creations on the web. Developed by those savvy guys and gals at MIT.
It’s great to see this happening in the U.S., we’re far behind other countries when it comes to teaching young folks the art of coding/technology. Also Scratch is connecting educators, allowing teachers to share insights, projects, and tips for platform. It’s approachable, collaborative, and effective. Try Scratch, this is what it feels like to be an eight year old today.
