Discover how to navigate Scratch’s user interface and website to start coding and sharing projects.
Scratch is a programming language that allows you to use code blocks to create animations, stories,
musical instruments, games, and much more. It’s a bit like programming using Lego!
You don’t need any coding experience to run a club: your projects are really easy to follow and help pupils and teachers develop their programming skills. They are really fun and a great starting point for creating awesome games, websites, and animations!
The easiest way to start programming in Scratch is to use the online editor. Visit scratch dot mit dot edu in a browser and click Create at the top of the page to get started.
There are lots of advantages to working online, but if you prefer to work offline (or don’t always have an internet
connection), you can click Offline Editor at the bottom of the homepage to download Scratch instead.
