Scratch
Scratch is a free educational programming language that was developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It can be downloaded to be installed on your PC HERE or accessed through your browser with the online editor HERE. Scratch is designed to be fun, educational, and easy to learn. It has the tools for creating interactive stories, games, art, simulations, and more, using block-based programming. Users program in Scratch by dragging blocks from the block palette and attaching them to other blocks like a jigsaw puzzle. This method of programming (building code with blocks) is referred to as ‘drag-and-drop programming’
