Scratch in brief
Block coding lets children aged roughly 8 to 16 snap together code to create interactive stories, games and animations, then share them with an online community. It launched in May 2007 as a desktop application, reached the web with version 2.0 in 2013, and version 3.0 added mobile device support plus links to internet-of-things devices. The project's figures reported users in 196 countries and more than 70 languages in 2018.
