4 What is Scratch 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. As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.

Scratching to Make Learning Relevant October 20, 2012 Visual & Object Oriented The graphical blocks used in the creation process are called scripts. These scripts are color coded and have unique shapes. This provides an unambiguous view of the programming commands allowing users to easily distinguish between the type of scripts needed or not needed in the creation or troubleshooting process which facilitates computational thinking. Students program by easily snapping and detaching the scripts without the need of complicated codes while still using the computational thinking skills required in computer programming. R.
