    Scratch Blocks

    - Scratch Blocks is a new development project for the next generation of{' '} - graphical programming blocks, based on a collaboration between Google and MIT’s{' '} - Scratch Team — building on Google’s{' '} - Blockly technology{' '} - and informed by the Scratch Team’s expertise in developing creative{' '} - learning tools for young people. Scratch Blocks will provide a framework{' '} - for building programming blocks in both vertical (text-based) and horizontal{' '} - (icon-based) formats. You can access the code (currently as a{' '} - developer-preview) and documentation{' '} - here. +

    - This first release includes code for Scratch’s Horizontal Grammar. Looking{' '} - ahead, we plan to release additional code including but not limited to the{' '} - Vertical Grammar (currently used by Scratch), a new Rendering Engine to support{' '} - sprites and graphic effects, and a new Audio Engine to support creation with{' '} - sound and music. +

    Principles

    +

    - We created Scratch to empower young people to think creatively, reason systematically,{' '} - and work collaboratively.

    Learning Principles

    +

    -
    Projects
    +
    - People learn best when they are actively working on projects — generating{' '} - new ideas, designing prototypes, making improvements and creating final{' '} - products. +
    -
    Passion
    +
    - When people focus on things they care about, they work longer and harder,{' '} - persist in the face of challenges, and learn more in the process. +
    -
    Peers
    +
    - Learning flourishes as a social activity, with people sharing ideas,{' '} - collaborating on projects, and building on one another's work. +
    -
    Play
    +
    - Learning involves playful experimentation — trying new things, tinkering{' '} - with materials, testing boundaries, taking risks, iterating again and again. +

    Design Principles

    +

    -
    Low Floor & Wide Walls
    +
    - In order to encourage a varied and diverse set of interactions, we{' '} - explicitly include elements and features that are easy for kids to{' '} - understand (low floor), but general enough to support diverse uses (wide walls). +
    -
    Make it as Simple as Possible — And Maybe Even Simpler
    +
    - Despite the common drive to add more features to software products, we{' '} - have found that reducing the number of features often improves the user{' '} - experience. What initially seems like a constraint or limitation can foster{' '} - new forms of creativity. +
    -
    Many Paths, Many Styles
    +
    - Many math and science activities have traditionally been biased towards{' '} - specific populations. By paying special attention to creating accessible{' '} - and appealing technologies, we are working to close the gap. +
    -
    Design for Tinkerability
    +
    - We believe that the learning process is inherently iterative. Tinkerers{' '} - start by exploring and experimenting, then revising and refining their{' '} - goals and creations. To support this style of interaction, we design{' '} - our interfaces to encourage quick experimentation and rapid cycles of iteration. +

    Where can I learn more about Scratch?

    +

    - Scratch is a free programming language and online community where young{' '} - people can create their own interactive stories, games, and animations.{' '} - Scratch is a project of the{' '} - Lifelong Kindergarten{' '} - Group at the MIT Media Lab.{' '} - You can learn more about Scratch{' '} - here. +

    -

    Are there rules to using this code in my application?

    +

    - You may use this code in accordance with the license which governs{' '} - each project. We also strongly encourage you to consider the learning{' '} - and design principles (above, on this page) when building creative{' '} - learning experiences for kids of all ages. +

    - Am I allowed to use the name "Scratch Blocks" in the description of my{' '} - app and other public messaging? +

    - If you wish, you can publicly state that your application is powered by{' '} - Scratch Blocks. If you do so, we would also encourage you to link back to{' '} - the code repository. +

    -

    Are you releasing more code and when?

    +

    - We plan to open source additional code relating to the Scratch programming{' '} - language over the next few months. Keep an eye on this page! +

    -

    What’s the difference between Blockly and Scratch Blocks?

    +

    - Scratch Blocks builds upon the Blockly code base, and is specifically{' '} - designed with our principles in mind to support creative learning experiences. +
