"annualReport.2021.directorsMessageP1":"In 2021, COVID-19 continued to disrupt our routines and shape the way we interact with one another. Even as we began to gather together, schools reopened, and there were calls for a “return to normal,” the most vulnerable in our society remained disproportionately impacted by the inequitable structures that COVID-19 exacerbated. The COVID-19 crisis shaped young people’s relationships to Scratch, and solidified Scratch as a more vital place than ever for them to create, learn, and connect. But as we moved into a new year, we did not leave behind our most vulnerable young people as they began to navigate “the new normal.”",
