Introduction

Scratch is a visual programming tool that can be used for introducing programming to students. Using command blocks, external inputs as well as operators and variables, Scratch can also be used to build animations, tell short stories and games. It is a creative and interactive learning platform where user can create interactive prpjects and share those projects with the online community. More than 6 million projects have been shared until now on various subjects. To try out the offline editor of Scratch in Edubuntu, download it from here
