Download ScratchJr ScratchJr is an introductory programming language that allows young children (ages 5 and up) to create their own interactive stories and games. Children assemble graphical programming blocks to make the characters move, jump, dance and sing.

Kids can edit the characters in the uptodown paint editor, add their own voices and sounds, even insert photos of themselves, then use the programming blocks to bring their characters to life.

ScratchJr was inspired by the popular Scratch programming language (http://scratch.mit.edu), used by millions of young people (ages 8 and up) around the world. In creating ScratchJr, we have redesigned the interface and programming language to make them suitable for the development of young children, carefully designing features suitable for the cognitive, personal, social and emotional development of young children.

We see coding (or computer programming) as a new kind of literacy. Just as writing helps you organize your thinking and express your ideas, so does coding. In the past, coding was considered too difficult for most people. But we believe coding should be for everyone, just like writing.

When young children code with ScratchJr, they learn to create and express themselves with the computer, not just how to interact with it. In the process, children learn to solve problems and design projects, and they develop sequencing skills that are fundamental to subsequent academic success.

They also use math and language in a meaningful and motivating context, supporting the development of numeracy and literacy in young children. With ScratchJr, kids don't just learn to code, they code to learn.

ScratchJr is a collaboration between the Developmental Technologies group at Tufts University, the Lifelong Kindergarten group at MIT Media Lab, and the Playful Invention Company. Two Sigma led the implementation of the Android version of ScratchJr. ScratchJr graphics and illustrations were created by HvingtQuatre Company and Sarah Thomson.
