On October 11, 2003, MIT made the first version of Scratch. MIT continued to work on Scratch for 4 more years before releasing Scratch. Scratch was designed to be an easy programming language that kids could easily learn. On July 2nd, 2009, MIT released Scratch 1.4. On May 9th, 2013, MIT officially released Scratch 2.0. 6 years later, on January 2nd, 2019, Scratch 3.0 was released. 21 years. 247 months. 7517 days. 180408 hours. 10822480 minutes since the release of the Scratch 11Oct03 Beta. 17 years. 204 months. 6205 days 148920 hours. 8935200 minutes. 536112000 seconds since the birth, the official release of Scratch. You can debate whether or not scratch is 17 or 21 years old, but here's my sentiment: Happy Birthday, Scratch. Thank you, for everything.
Scratch is turning 21!! I included the share button from every major version of Scratch: 1.0, 1.4, 2.0, and 3.0! I downloaded every major version of Scratch today. From 11Oct03 to 3.0.. It's amazing what it has become! I've included a block from every major Scratch version! This has 300 blocks, which is the same number as the clone limit! Fun Fact: 1.4 is the oldest version of Scratch that is still supported! Feel free to talk about old Scratch versions, Scratch now, debate on how old Scratch is, pretty much anything! #scratch
