About Scratch in the Triangle

We are a network of people who love Scratch from MIT. From a three-year-old programming from her mother's lap to gray-haired veterans of math, science and technology, we get together to model, design, make math and science our own, and help the next generation of geeklets to join the fun!

Benefits:

Help bright, interested kids find one another
Join the vibrant worldwide open source community: pushing one million shared applets
Collaborate with innovative educators in STEM disciplines
Pure joy

Global Scratch Resources

Scratch is the number one young programmer network in the world. The name Scratch comes from the technique used by hip-hop disc jockeys, who spin vinyl records to mix music clips together in creative ways. Similarly, Scratch lets kids mix together a wide variety of media: graphics, photos, music, and sounds.
