Why learn Scratch?

✓Beginner-friendly visual programming
✓Learn coding logic without worrying about syntax
✓Develop computational thinking
✓Progress toward Python and advanced programming

Scratch is a block-based visual programming language built for kids. Children drag and connect blocks instead of typing code, so they learn programming logic first.
