A First Coding Skill

Scratch Coding for Kids

Fun & Interactive Coding Classes for Kids

Drag-and-drop coding blocks make programming easy and fun. Kids create games, animations and interactive stories in live online classes.

Overview

What Is Scratch Coding?

Scratch is a free visual programming language from the MIT Media Lab. It uses drag-and-drop coding blocks, making Scratch programming easy for kids to learn while unleashing their creativity. With our online Scratch coding courses for kids, young learners build Scratch coding games, design animations and tell interactive stories, improving problem-solving skills through fun, hands-on projects at every skill level.

FAQs

Scratch Coding: Common Questions

What is Scratch coding?

Scratch is a visual programming language where kids snap together drag-and-drop coding blocks to create games, animations and interactive stories.

What age is Scratch good for?

Scratch is taught from age 6 in Tiny Techies, and continues in Junior Inventors (8-10) and Code Champions (11-14).

What programming language does Scratch use?

Scratch uses block-based coding: instead of typing, kids connect blocks that represent code. Programming in Scratch teaches the same logic as text languages like Python.

Is this the same as MIT Scratch?

Yes. Kids use Scratch, the free coding tool made at MIT, so they can keep building and sharing their projects at home too.

Does my child need any experience?

No. Our Scratch lessons start from the very basics and build up step by step.

Can we try a class first?

Yes. Book a free 60-minute trial class, taught live by one of our engineer instructors.
