Hey everyone,

We have some exciting news! Scratch will be featured as part of Hour of Code, an initiative to encourage students and teachers to try coding for the first time. We're expecting thousands of people new to Scratch, especially December 8 to 14. You can help by welcoming and answering questions from new Scratchers!

We’ve created three awesome activities for Hour of Code: Animate Your Name, Design a Holiday Card, and Create a Pong Game. You can learn more about these activities by visiting our Hour of Code page!

We’ve been preparing our servers for the increase in traffic. However, you may see some occasional slowness or other website hiccups along the way. Rest assured, we’ll work quickly to fix any issues :]

Are you participating in Hour of Code?


Scratch On!
