Scratch (programming language)
Scratch is a visual programming language and online community targeted primarily at children, by coding with 'blocks' in the editor. Users of the site can create online projects using a block-like interface. The service is developed by the MIT Media Lab , has been translated into 70+ languages , and is used in most parts of the world. [1] Scratch is taught and used in after-school centers, schools, and colleges, as well as other public knowledge institutions. As of October 2018, community statistics on the language's official website show more than 35 million projects shared. [2]
