Abstract

Scratch is an educational programming language with graphical interface.​

It was created as a tool which would make programming easy and intuitively understandable. Its purpose was to allow users without any programming experience to learn the basic principles of imperative and multi-threading programming and hopefully will encourage them to continue in other languages. Naturally, its application is limited to fun and educational projects.​

When people learn to code in Scratch, they learn important strategies for solving problems, designing projects and communicating ideas​
