Philosophy of Scratch is simple: imagine, program, and share. Kids love to put things together and take them apart to see what happens. In Scratch, we do this all the time! Kids are encouraged to view other kid's projects (either on the web in the Scratch community or the built-in ones that come with the free program) to see how they work and to tinker with them. Learning comes by doing, and kids love "doing" and making projects using Scratch!

One boy told me how anything he could imagine was possible using Scratch. I think that's why kids who think outside of the box especially enjoy creating games and other projects in Scratch.

 * Share: ** Finished programs are uploaded easily (and at no cost) to the Scratch website where they can be viewed, commented upon, downloaded, remixed, and uploaded again.
