The ability to code computer programs is an important part of literacy in today’s society. When people learn to code in Scratch, they learn important strategies for solving problems, designing projects, and communicating ideas.

Scratch allows users to use event driven programming with multiple active objects called “sprites“. Sprites can be drawn — as either vector or bitmap graphics — from scratch in a simple editor that is part of the Scratch, or can be imported from external sources, including webcam.

Version 2.0 of Scratch is currently available online and as a desktop application for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.^[1]^[2] The source code of Scratch 1.x is made available under GPLv2 license and Scratch Source Code License.
