NAME¶
Scratch - An easy to use interactive programming environment for ages 8 and up.
Description¶
Scratch is an easy, interactive, collaborative programming environment designed
for creation of interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and
sharing these on the web. Scratch is designed to help young people (ages 8 and
up) develop 21st century learning skills. As they create Scratch projects,
young people learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also
gaining a deeper understanding of the process of design. This man page
