Hi Scratchers,

Earlier this week, the MIT Scratch Team announced a new collaboration with Google. I’m writing, on behalf of the Scratch Team, to provide you with a little more information about this collaboration – and what it means for the Scratch community.

We view the Google announcement as one step in our process of developing the next generation of Scratch, which we informally call Scratch 3.0. This new version will be designed to run well on mobile devices and all modern browsers, and it will be based on HTML5 (moving away from Flash). We hope to start rolling out Scratch 3.0 sometime during 2017.

The Google collaboration will help us in developing the technical infrastructure for Scratch 3.0, drawing on Google’s strong engineering expertise. To start, we are working with Google on a new version of our programming blocks, which we’re calling Scratch Blocks. This new version will support both vertical-snapping blocks with text labels (as in the current version of Scratch) and also horizontal-snapping blocks with icons (as in ScratchJr). With this flexibility, Scratch Blocks will be suitable for a broad range of people (from beginners to experienced programmers) and a broad range of devices (from mobile phones to desktops).

A big reason why folks at Google are interested in collaborating with Scratch is that they like the friendly, intuitive design of the Scratch programming blocks and interface – and they are interested in making the Scratch design available to more people. Everything that comes out of the Scratch-Google collaboration will be made available, via open source, to other developers. So you might start seeing other products with programming blocks that look a lot like Scratch.

In everything we do, our top priority is always the Scratch community. We believe that our collaboration with Google puts us in a strong position to carry out our most important mission: to provide a free, friendly, and creative space where you, as members of the Scratch community, can imagine, program, and share!
