 Scratch Programming

Scratch is a programming language

that can be used to create a program
by dragging and dropping blocks of
instructions. You can create your own
interactive stories, animations,
games, music and art. Scratch uses a
visual editor that provides you with
quick output. This makes
programming in scratch fun.
A Scratch program is saved as a
project.
