Scratch and Code.org are both good coding websites, but which one is better? Most teachers prefer Code.org, and the students prefer Scratch usually. Code.org's code challenges are quite simple, and teachers want to use it as an introduction to coding. Students like Scratch because they have the freedom to create whatever they want, and not just a Minecraft game, or a flappy bird game.

Code.org detects if you get a step wrong, and they tell you after you run your project. They even have helpful tutorials and more stuff. Though Scratch has tutorials, but they don't notify you. You have to figure out what went wrong yourself.

Scratch's community is really big and anyone can share a project, as long as they have an account. There is an Explore tab and search bar. Code.org has a community, but there is no tabs, and almost impossible to find your project if you shared it a long time ago. There is no search bar.


Scratch - Motion, Looks, Sound, Events, Control, Sensing, Operators, Variables, My Blocks, Music, Pen, Video Sensing, Text to Speech, Translate, Makey Makey , micro:bit, Lego Mindstorms EV3, Lego Boost, Lego Education WeDo 2.0, and Go Direct Force & Acceleration.
Game Lab (Code.org) - World, Groups, Control, Variables, Sprites, Drawing, Math, and Functions.
App Lab (Code.org) - UI Controls, Data, Control, Variables, Canvas, Turtle, Math, and Functions
Artist (Code.org) - Actions, Brushes, Loops, Math, Logic, Functions, and Variables.
