Scratch Programming Course
Scratch is a visual programming language primarily designed for children and beginners to learn the fundamentals of coding in a fun and interactive way. Developed by the MIT Media Lab, Scratch allows kids to create their own interactive stories, games, and animations by fixing together blocks of code.
Scratch serves as an excellent entry point into the world of programming because it makes learning to code accessible and enjoyable. It builds a strong foundation that can be beneficial for learning more complex programming languages later on.
Scratch Coding for Kids
- Drag-and-Drop Interface: Scratch uses a block-based interface, where each block represents a command or function. Kids can easily drag and drop these blocks to build scripts.
- Creativity and Exploration: Scratch encourages creativity by allowing kids to experiment with different characters, backgrounds, and sounds. It’s a playful environment where imagination meets technology.
- Learning by Doing: Through creating projects, kids learn key programming concepts such as loops, conditionals, variables, and events. These concepts are grasped easier through Scratch Coding for kids.

FAQs on Scratch Programming
Which age is suitable for kids to start learning Scratch?
Scratch is designed for kids aged 7 and up. It's playful, intuitive, and doesn’t require typing, making it perfect for younger learners.
Do I need to install anything for my child to start?
No. Scratch runs directly in your web browser. Your child just needs a device (laptop or tablet) with internet access to get started.
Do I need a coding background to support my child?
No prior coding knowledge is needed. Our instructors guide kids step-by-step. As a parent, your encouragement and interest are more than enough!
How will the course be conducted?
Our Scratch course is taught through live online sessions with experienced instructors. Each session includes demonstrations, hands-on practice, and project building.
What will my child be able to do by the end of the course?
Your child will be able to create their own interactive stories, animations, and games. They'll also develop important skills like logical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving.
How is Scratch different from just playing computer games?
Instead of just playing, your child will learn to build their own games—turning them from consumers to creators in the digital world.
Is it safe for kids to use Scratch online?
Yes. Scratch is built with child safety in mind. It does not require personal information to use and has strong community moderation in place.
Will learning Scratch help with school subjects?
Yes. Scratch strengthens skills in math (patterns, logic), reading (instructions, sequencing), and science (experimentation and debugging) in a fun, interactive way.
How can I track my child’s progress?
We provide regular updates, project showcases, and feedback from instructors so you can see what your child is learning and creating.
Who developed Scratch? Is it free to use?
Scratch was developed by the MIT Media Lab to help kids learn to code in a fun and easy way. Yes, it’s completely free to use—there are no subscriptions, ads, or hidden charges. Your child can start creating right away!
Can my child use Scratch on an iPad/Tablet?
Yes, Scratch works on iPads and tablets using a web browser. However, for the best experience—especially when playing or building games that use arrow keys or typing—we recommend using a laptop or desktop with a keyboard. It makes coding and gameplay much smoother.
Can Scratch be used offline?
Yes, Scratch offers an offline editor that you can download and install on your computer. It lets your child create and save projects without internet access.
