Scratch is a programming language developed by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in the USA, designed for the use of children aged 8-16 and has a very simple interface. [2] Unlike traditional programming languages, the user can create animations, games and stories by clicking and dragging the desired functions with the mouse.

Since it has a colorful interface, it encourages children to create animations. In addition to many programming languages such as Java, C, Python, PHP, Visual Basic, Scratch categorizes ready-made functions and offers them easy use. In this way, people who are new to programming can grasp the algorithm structure without using complex code structures such as "if, else, while, for" and lines of code that require attention such as punctuation marks.

ScratchJr, a simplified version of Scratch, is available for children aged 5-7.
