Scratch is a visual programming language designed for beginners, especially children. It allows users to create interactive stories, games, and animations by snapping together code blocks. This block-based approach makes programming accessible and fun, encouraging creativity and problem-solving skills. Developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, Scratch provides a user-friendly interface where users can drag and drop blocks to control characters, known as sprites. The platform also features an online community where users can share their projects, receive feedback, and collaborate with others, fostering a sense of belonging and teamwork.
