Games in Scratch
Ages 8+
1 Class
Scratch was developed for early readers to have
instant success in video game development.
The idea of block coding (or pushing around
colorful blocks of code) to create computer
programs started with Scratch. This open source
coding environment allows you to create your
own interactive stories, games and animations
and share online. It allows young learners to
think creatively, reason, and work together.
