Our main academic focus of study this trimester was learning Scratch. Invented by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Scratch is an online programming language that enables students to program interactive stories, games, and animations. Instead of typing code, Scratch uses visual blocks like puzzle pieces to create a program. Scratch is very similar to LEGO in that there are an endless number of ways to arrange the myriad blocks. Learning to code improves logical and critical thinking, as well as strengthening communication, in both verbal and written skills.
