Hello! Hope you're havin' a good day! This forum tells you how to use Scratch and how to code in Scratch! By the way, Scratch is a coding website. Ok, I'll just explain it all with the copy and paste.

Scratch is the world’s largest coding community for children and a coding language with a simple visual interface that allows young people to create digital stories, games, and animations. Scratch is designed, developed, and moderated by the Scratch Foundation, a nonprofit organization.

Scratch promotes computational thinking and problem solving skills; creative teaching and learning; self-expression and collaboration; and equity in computing.

Scratch is always free and is available in more than 70 languages.

Yeah, I copied that from About.

have fun learning!

Sorry to interrupt (edit: wait you guys have finished it ???) (edit 2: sorry I know you guys already know about this!) , but it (probably) violates this rule:

So, in general, please refrain from creating informational topics. There's already a good number of existing tutorial topics - as well as the Scratch Wiki. The same goes for welcome topics (such as “Welcome to Scratch”, or “Introduce Yourself Here”) as there is already a group welcoming topic serving that purpose. Although the thought is much appreciated, these types of topics will usually end up being closed for the purpose of keeping the forums organized. An exception to that would be if you've checked with the Scratch Team beforehand and have gotten their approval to create one.

(Unless you have got Scratch Team's approval )

"Hello! It's great that you want to help out other Scratchers. However, I think we have enough guides in the forums at the moment. Please feel free to welcome new Scratchers on the group welcoming topic or on individual topics created by New Scratchers.

Other places that can always use more helpful Scratchers like you, are the “”Help With Scripts“” and “”Questions About Scratch“” areas - please use them as designed, by responding to topics created by folks with problems to solve

Finally, a really good place for Scratch guides is the Scratch Wiki - check it out and see if it's something you might like to work on. They have a number of guides - and great organization."
