Scratch is a block-based visual programming language designed by MIT, primarily to help children learn to code. Users of the site create coding projects using a block-like interface, which may be accessed from any computer. Scratch is used in after-school centers, schools, colleges, and other public knowledge institutions.
As the heart of our curriculum at Panda Programmer, the Scratch platform perfectly blends multiple media-types for the introduction of coding to students. At it’s core, Scratch enables the visualization of coding and outputs immediate results for students. This creates a creative environment allowing students to explore.
Panda Programmer offers Scratch for kids in any of our classes located around Montgomery County, Maryland. All equipment is provided, however students are allowed to bring their own if they wish. Accounts enable students to save their work, allowing complicated projects to come together over time. As it may be viewed from any computer once logged in, students are easily able to show off their work to friends and parents.
