Scratch is a free, block-based editor that allows you to simply create stories, games and animations.

Scratch contains all the elements of typically coding languages such as variables and functions in a neat block-based interface.

Scratch is designed for 8 to 16 year olds, helping young people think creatively and systematically.

For younger coders, Scratch also has the sibling app Scratch Jr.
