Scratch is a free visual programming language and online community developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at MIT. By snapping together colorful code blocks, people of all ages can create interactive stories, games, animations, and simulations—and share them with millions of others around the world.

Since its launch in 2007, Scratch has introduced millions of young people worldwide to creative coding. Used in schools, libraries, museums, and homes, it has helped make programming more accessible and playful, inspiring a generation of learners to create interactive stories, games, and animations.

PICO has been actively contributing to design, development, and exploration of new directions.
