About Scratch
Scratch was created in 2003 by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab to make programming accessible and engaging for children. It allowed users to create interactive projects using a simple, block-based interface, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills.
Strengths of Scratch included its user-friendly interface, strong community support, and suitability for beginners. Weaknesses included limited functionality for advanced programming and lack of text-based coding experience. Competitors included Blockly, Tynker, and Code.org.
