"Perhaps my favorite thing about teaching with Scratch is the way that it is a programming language as well as an online community. Students learn how to program not only from experimenting with blocks and viewing tutorials, but also from checking out others’ projects on the Scratch website and receiving feedback from their peers. Students who want to learn about other countries can travel the world via Scratch." - Kathleen Fugle, Scratch educator

Right now, thousands of kids are heading back to school and discovering Scratch for the first time. If you believe, as we do, that young people deserve a safe, moderated space to express themselves online without the pressures of addictive algorithms and relentless advertisements, donate to celebrate a new season of learning together today. https://scratchfoundation.org/donate
