About this course
Scratch is a visual programming language, so it's great for kids. It is called a visual language because programs written in this language are not presented as text instructions, but as colored blocks of code connected to each other.
Scratch gives a necessary basis to effectively study professional programming languages. At the same time, it is also effective in developing the student's logic, helps to understand mathematics and physics.
Scratch, for all its simplicity, can be used to create some computer programs and many 2D games, even Mario games!
