Imagine creating your own video games, animated stories, or interactive art.

0:00:09.331,0:00:12.516
Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy

0:00:12.516,0:00:15.249
for people to make all kinds of creative projects.

0:00:15.803,0:00:20.550
With Scratch, you can make things walk, talk, sing, dance,

0:00:20.550,0:00:25.907
bounce, fly, win, lose, or draw.

0:00:25.907,0:00:28.461
Scratch is used by all different kinds of people all

0:00:28.461,0:00:33.259
over the world to make all different kinds of projects.

0:00:33.259,0:00:36.774
"I love drawing stuff. I especially liked drawing this

0:00:36.774,0:00:41.323
picture because it was really fun."

0:00:41.323,0:00:44.545
"In this project, I used the sprite to draw a pattern."

0:00:44.545,0:00:46.791
"I started making these stories up. I don't know

0:00:46.791,0:00:49.636
where they come from, I guess my imagination."

0:00:49.636,0:00:51.943
"My first project was a remix of one of the sample

0:00:51.943,0:00:54.640
projects that come with Scratch. I just love the

0:00:54.640,0:00:58.630
creativity of Scratch. There are endless possibilities.

0:00:58.630,0:01:01.974
It's not like you can just make this project, or this project

0:01:01.974,0:01:05.104
and that's all you can make."

0:01:05.104,0:01:08.788
"But Scratch isn't just a tool. It's also a community."

0:01:08.788,0:01:12.626
"You get to see other people's projects and learn from

0:01:12.626,0:01:14.238
them; and get ideas from them."

0:01:14.254,0:01:17.671
"I like to compose my own music in Scratch and draw my own characters."

0:01:17.671,0:01:20.411
"I love math, and I like making other people interested

0:01:20.411,0:01:22.547
in it too."

0:01:22.547,0:01:24.962
Getting started is easy. You can download Scratch for

0:01:24.962,0:01:27.423
free and just start exploring. You snap together Scratch

0:01:27.423,0:01:30.767
blocks, just like you would snap together Lego bricks.

0:01:30.767,0:01:34.367
Let's make the cat dance back-and-forth to a beat.

0:01:34.367,0:01:37.036
[drum beat] If I want to make the cat dance back-and-

0:01:37.036,0:01:40.567
forth more than one time, I can wrap a repeat block around

0:01:40.567,0:01:45.648
it. [drum beats several times] Now let's make it

0:01:45.648,0:01:49.222
interactive. I'll place this block on top, and now

0:01:49.222,0:01:52.467
when I click on the cat sprite, check out what happens.

0:01:52.467,0:01:55.426
[drum beats several times] You can even try different

0:01:55.426,0:01:58.962
things out while the project is still running and experiment

0:01:58.962,0:02:02.860
with different scripts. "It's a program that lets you

0:02:02.876,0:02:06.618
explore your imagination. You can do whatever you want

0:02:06.618,0:02:10.984
in it. You can design anything." "Using Scratch, I definitely

0:02:10.984,0:02:15.134
learned programming. But I also learned how to collaborate

0:02:15.134,0:02:19.267
with other people." "This project has voices in it.

0:02:19.267,0:02:21.853
I had my friends record their voices, and then I used it

0:02:21.853,0:02:27.178
in my project." "It's like you can do whatever you want,

0:02:27.178,0:02:31.979
really. You can be as creative as you want to be."

0:02:33.210,0:02:36.572
I can't wait to see what you create with Scratch.

0:02:36.572,0:02:39.267
What will you imagine? What will you program?

0:02:39.267,0:02:42.426
And what will you share?
