SCRATCH That!
Instructor: itec Staff

Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art - and share your creations on the web. Created by the MIT Media Lab, it is intended to motivate for further learning through playfully experimenting and creating projects, such as interative animations and games. As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.
