Use the free Scratch platform to build your own animations, stories, and simple games by snapping together colorful code blocks — a fun way to learn programming logic and creativity solo on your computer.

The Essentials

  • Start with a simple animation before attempting a full game, so you learn the basic blocks first
  • Break your project into small pieces — get one sprite moving correctly before adding a second
  • Use the built-in debugger and single-step through scripts when something doesn't work as expected
  • Remix an existing shared project to see how other coders solved similar problems
  • Save your work often and give your project a clear name so you can find and continue it later
