Scratch is a new programming language that makes it easy
to create your own animated stories, games, and interactive
art – and share your creations with others on the web.
Scratch is developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten research
group at the MIT Media Lab (http://llk.media.mit.edu). Our
group develops new technologies that, in the spirit of the
blocks and fingerpaint of kindergarten, expand the range
of what people can design, create, and learn.
The development of Scratch has been supported by funding
from the National Science Foundation, the Intel Foundation,
and the MIT Media Lab research consortia.
Supported by NSF Grant No. 0325828. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions
or recommendations expressed on this site are those of the authors and do
