Description

With ScratchJr, young children (ages 5-7) learn important new skills as they program their own interactive stories and games.

By snapping together graphical programming blocks, children can make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. In the process, children learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively on the computer. They also use math and language in a meaningful and motivating context, supporting the development of early-childhood numeracy and literacy. With ScratchJr, children don’t just learn to code, they code to learn.

ScratchJr was inspired by the popular Scratch programming language (http://scratch.mit.edu), used by millions of people (ages 8 and up) around the world. The ScratchJr interface and programming language were redesigned to make them appropriate for younger children’s cognitive, personal, social, and emotional development.

ScratchJr is a collaboration between the Lifelong Kindergarten research group at the MIT Media Lab, the Developmental Technologies research group at Tufts University, and the Playful Invention Company. The ScratchJr project has received generous financial support from the National Science Foundation (NSF DRL-1118664), Scratch Foundation, LEGO Foundation, and British Telecommunications.

It's fun.

Bunnnyroblox on

This game is fun, I used to use it a lot in 2022, but I deleted it when I got my iPad for no reason at all. I think you should advance it a little bit more. 😉

AMAZING but some problems

Smurfjnel on

I have had this game for a while now and I love it but I 3 request 1. Can we please have cats I have checked a lot of times for a update for cats 2. More types of dogs I love the dog but for a pack of dogs l want more 3. Pastel colours

Feels abandoned

fariazz on

Only bug fixes, no new features in years. The app doesnt come with much content like music, sounds or animations. Touch screen support is poor doesn't handle well multi touch). Its way too far behind the main Scratch product in terms of polish and development. It just feels overall abandoned.

So mindful and no ADS

Nearly every day I go on this game. There’s no ads! And it’s so mindful.

Scratch Jr Ideas

Alex Carpio Catacutan on

Hello,My name is Kara. I love this game! But there are things that I suggest, Can you add things like………. New codes, More shapes for the drawing tool, and more scenes so we can make up a good story. I hope you see this note!

Ok…

creative sandwich on

Hi I just want to tell you that I’m a kid I’m 10 ish I’m telling you(s) this so you won’t mistake it for a random parent’s review ok so on to the review. Ok so scratch Jr is an ok app for me who uses normal scratch it’s ok but compared against normal scratch it’s bad I know it’s not for making games but you can’t even make simple games like flappy Bird flappy Bird is really simple that’s why there’s so many remakes so all this is good for is making animations and scratch is for making games this is ok but in all this is garbage not worth my 0.00$ for me who likes making games and scratch but my true opinion is that it’s ok. And count how many times I used I’m won’t and can’t fill out the answer in this my scratch username is gettingoverit4_6
