Scratch
Scratch is a programming language and an online community, designed and maintained by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab. As learners create with Scratch, they learn to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically.
Students can use Scratch to code their own interactive stories, animations, and games and, in the process, they learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for everyone in today’s society.

-
Scratch is multimedia oriented with the aim of teaching computer science to children or beginners. It is based on the manipulation of objects, sounds and videos
-
Scratch allows to modify the code of the running program.
-
Scratch works thanks to a visual editor, all the code is directly written in the user's mother tongue (more than forty languages are available) in the form of coloured bricks. It allows you to visually implement basic programming concepts such as loops, conditions, tests, variable assignments.
-
Scratch thus allows the teacher to disseminate his pedagogy by means of the almost playful interactivity of the objects manipulated by these software bricks.
