Scratch is a children's programming language developed by MIT. In May 2007, MIT Lab released a brand-new desktop visual programming tool-Scratch to the public. Scratch turns program instructions into "building blocks". Users don't have to know English words, use keyboards and memorize a lot of programming sentences. The commands and parameters that make up the program are realized by building block modules. Simply drag and connect the building blocks together, and they can easily program, thus quickly making animations, games and interactive programs.

Scratch became popular in various programming interest communities all over the world after its public release. Up to now, Scratch has more than 40 languages and is used in more than 50 countries. On Scratch's official website, you can see that nearly 23.8 million fans uploaded their works!

Second, what are the advantages of scratch children's programming?

1, Scratch children's programming tools are easy to get started, and have nothing to do with the original programming foundation. It is most suitable for primary and secondary school students to learn programming languages for the first time, especially for children with no or little programming foundation, and it is most suitable for programming enlightenment.

2.Scratch children's programming is rich in content and diverse in forms, providing role painting design functions for students who are interested in and love painting. Through gamification programming, children's programming interest and enthusiasm will be cultivated, and children's interest will be more flat on the road of subsequent programming advancement.

3.Scratch children's programming exercises children's logical thinking ability. By using Scratch, students can gradually form logical analysis, independent thinking and innovative thinking in the process of animation and game design, and learn to ask and solve problems.

4.Scratch children's programming tools are more intuitive than other programming software. It is easy for students to see the fruits of their labor, gain a sense of accomplishment, and drive them to constantly challenge more and more complicated logic, forming the fundamental driving force for children's lasting love.
