#LearnToCode on Scratch

Scratch might be an introductory language, but it is a powerful one. Scratch is a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab and is provided free of charge! All you need to do is create an account and you can dive into the graphics-based programming language. This means that users can code interactive media – such as stories, games, and animations – by putting together colourful, graphical blocks. It’s the introductory programming language that we teach our kids aged 8 to 12. 
Recommended for: Ages 8 and above
Suitable for: Younger learners who want to learn the fundamentals of computer science logic and who may not be ready for complex programming languages
