Humans.txt[edit | edit source]

This file has a small, but helpful, description of the intent behind Scratch.

With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share your creations with others in the online community.

Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for life in the 21st century.
