What is Scratch?
Scratch is a fun, colorful programming tool made for kids. Instead of typing code,
you snap together blocks to make your program.

Scratch Interface
Scratch has three main areas: The Stage (where your project runs), the Blocks
Palette (where you find coding blocks), and the Scripts Area (where you build
programs).
