Scratch is a free online block-based coding editor and community. With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share your creations with others in the online community.

Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for life in the 21st century. It is designed, developed, and moderated by the Scratch Foundation, a non-profit organization.

There is also a Scratch Jr app that is free and designed for younger learners.
