NAME
       Scratch - An easy to use interactive programming environment for ages 8
       and up.


Description
       Scratch is an easy, interactive, collaborative programming  environment
       designed for creation of interactive stories, animations, games, music,
       and art -- and sharing these on the web. Scratch is  designed  to  help
       young  people  (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century learning skills. As
       they create Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical
       and  computational  ideas, while also gaining a deeper understanding of
       the process of design.  This man page contains basic information  about
       Scratch.  For  additional  information,  see  the  Scratch  website  at
       http://scratch.mit.edu.
