More info.

The ST doesn't need to know who founded code.org, why is what founded, and how it was founded, to team up with them. Code.org is just a site with similar concepts.

I don't think my point was understood-
Scratch has worked with Code.org before, and has even featured their program, Hour of Code. I don't think we can exactly call Code.org a “knockoff”, as otherwise I doubt Scratch would have worked with them.

My point being, I highly doubt that this would be a problem.

I wouldn't say it's a knockoff. They're both trying to help teach kids beginning steps of code in an easy-to-understand block coding language. Though I would say that Code.org is a lot more focused on instruction and Scratch is more open to explore.

ok????????thx for taking 9999 hours of my life

Now that there has been several posts here, this is not necroposting so don't come at me I just want to say something.
I can't possibly be the only one who gets slight nostalgia from code.org, right? Am I the only one who was forced to re-learn it every year between first and fifth grade?

i have personally been to code.org, and it isn't a scratch knockoff. it's a fellow coding site meant to teach kids how to code as well.

this is from last october

I understand completely
