Learn to code for kids with Scratch

Scratch is a free programming language and online community, developed by MIT, for learning to code in a very simple way.
It's designed in a way that allows kids to understand how to build their own games or just create animations or interactive stories, using interlocking blocks to represent coding concepts.

There is also Scratch Junior, for kids from 5 to 7 years old, with blocks without words, just with symbols that the kids can associate with the coding concept.

It's fun and simple. Try it!

Google's Blocky

Scratch is a result of a collaboration between Google and MIT, and builds on Google’s Blockly technology. Blocky is a JavaScript library for building visual programming editors. It outputs syntactically correct code in the programming language of your choice.
