Scratch Foundation

Mission

The Scratch Foundation expands opportunities for children around the world to express themselves creatively with code. With Scratch and ScratchJr software, children stack coding blocks to create their own animations, games, and digital stories–and share their creations with one another. In the process, children not only learn technical and computational skills. They also learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively–essential skills for everyone in today’s world. The mission of the Scratch Foundation is to provide young people with digital tools and opportunities to imagine, create, share, and learn. This mission is realized through Scratch and ScratchJr coding platforms, moderation and management of a global online user community, and the facilitation of educator professional development resources and communities of practice.
