ScratchJr: Unleash Your Child's Creativity Through Coding!
Designed for children aged 5-7, ScratchJr is a user-friendly introduction to the world of programming. This innovative app allows young learners to create interactive stories and games by dragging and dropping colorful blocks. Watch as characters move, jump, dance, and sing, all controlled by your child's creations!
Children can personalize their projects by modifying characters in the built-in paint editor, adding their own voices and sounds, and even incorporating personal photos. This empowers them to bring their digital creations to life.
Inspired by the widely popular Scratch programming language, ScratchJr simplifies the interface and coding elements to perfectly match the developmental needs of younger children. We've carefully crafted features to support their cognitive, personal, social, and emotional growth.
We believe coding is a fundamental skill, much like reading and writing. It fosters problem-solving, enhances sequencing skills crucial for academic success, and integrates math and language in an engaging way. With ScratchJr, children aren't just learning to code; they're coding to learn!
ScratchJr is a collaborative project involving the Developmental Technologies group at Tufts University, the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, and the Playful Invention Company. Two Sigma spearheaded the Android version's development. The captivating graphics and illustrations are courtesy of HvingtQuatre Company and Sarah Thomson.
