Scratch 3.0: Not Just for Your Kids Anymore
This January, MIT had released their most recent iteration of Scratch 3.0. For those without young children, Scratch is a hugely successful platform for teaching children about computer science while encouraging creative play and exploration. Projects created can vary from animations to games and much more. The platform is web-based and comes packed full of assets for characters, background artwork, and music. You are also able to upload your own images and sounds with up to 50 MB allocated per project. Interaction with characters (called Sprites) occurs by dragging and dropping blocks of code in the proper sequence on the coding stage.
