Scratch is a cool coding site that allows users to create stories, games, and animations from SCRATCH! Once something is created, you can share it with the world, remix it into something even cooler, and create endless possibilities. It is available in 150 + countries and 40 + different languages making it widely accessible.
Designed specifically for ages 8-16, but fun for all ages, Scratch helps to teach coding; which is an important skill in today's society. Learning to code to some degree is essential to literacy as it promotes a higher level of thinking and problem solving. It can be used across all disciplines as there are games and stories about many topics such as weather, Super Mario, history and even Fortnite; all of which is created by the users. Things are more meaningful if students create it themselves, giving them a sense of accomplishment.
