Scratch is a free, block-based visual programming language and online community developed by the MIT Media Lab, designed to teach children and beginners the fundamentals of coding. Users create interactive stories, games, and animations by snapping together colorful code blocks instead of writing text-based syntax. It is widely used in schools worldwide as an introductory tool for computational thinking and creativity.
