“Scratch” was used as the title for The Lifelong Kindergarten Group's programming language, as it is to do with “scratching” referring to music.
“Scratching is a DJ or turntablist technique used to produce distinctive sounds by moving a vinyl record back and forth on a turntable while optionally manipulating the crossfader on a DJ mixer.”
Likewise, within Scratch, you take different bits of code (blocks), put them together, and have made something new.
“We take the name ”Scratch,“ from the way that hip-hop disk jockeys scratch with music. They take pieces of music and then combine them together in unexpected and creative ways.”
