Scratch is a free, browser-based programming language that is designed for students ages 8 to 16, and it is supported by an active community of millions of users. Students can use Scratch to design music videos, animations, and video games, while learning the fundamentals of coding. Scratch encourages you to share your work and “remix” others’ projects to create something new.

Our Go Direct Force and Accleration Extension for Scratch 3 brings real-world data into your Scratch project. Our Extensions add a new way for students to interact with code.
