A Scratch-Based Editor with AI and Physical Computing Extensions
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a Scratch-based project we’ve been developing called Pishi.ai Scratch.
Pishi.ai Scratch is an alternative Scratch-compatible editor focused on AI, machine learning, and physical computing, designed mainly for education, classrooms, and beginners who want to explore real-world interaction alongside Scratch blocks.
Instead of being a single extension, it includes multiple extensions that can be used independently depending on learning goals.
Some of the included extensions:
* Arduino Extension for physical computing and hardware control
* FaceMesh, HandPose, and PoseNet extensions for camera-based interaction
* Image Trainer and Google Teachable Machine integration for ML concepts
* Speech Recognition and ChatGPT extensions for AI-driven interaction
* AI Image Generator for creative projects
All extensions are designed to:
* Keep the Scratch programming model familiar
* Avoid requiring text-based coding
* Be usable step by step in learning environments
The goal is to help learners move from simple Scratch projects to:
* Real hardware
* AI concepts
* Interactive and creative systems
Documentation and help pages for each extension are available here:
https://pishi.ai/help
This is an ongoing project, and feedback from the Scratch community is very welcome, especially from educators or people using Scratch beyond the screen.
Thanks for reading!
