》Happy Birthday Scratch《 『 Scratch History 』 Scratch was created in 2007 by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab to help children learn coding in a fun and creative way. Instead of typing complex code, users snap colorful blocks together to make games, animations, and stories. The platform quickly became popular worldwide because it made programming simple for beginners. Over the years, Scratch evolved with new versions, better tools, cloud features, and a large online community where people can share and remix projects. Today, millions of students, teachers, and creators use Scratch to explore creativity, problem-solving, and computer science skills. 『 Scratch's Achievements 』 • Over 100 million shared projects worldwide. • Used in schools and coding clubs across many countries. • Helped millions of children learn programming basics. • Supports creativity through games, animations, music, and stories. • Built one of the largest online communities for young creators. • Available in many languages for global learning.
