Scratch Foundation

The Scratch Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, supports the design, development, and management of Scratch, the world’s largest and most diverse coding community for children. With Scratch, children can create their own interactive games, stories, and animations – and share their creations with one another in an active online community. In the process, children learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. To date, more than 100 million children have created half a billion projects on Scratch. After being developed and supported at MIT for more than 15 years, Scratch spun out of MIT and into the Scratch Foundation in late 2019. This transition is designed to support the continued growth and long-term sustainability of Scratch as a free, open, creative platform for children around the world.
