About the application:

ScratchJr is an introductory programming language that enables young kids (ages 5 and up) to make their own interactive stories and mini games. Kids snap together graphical programming blocks to create heroes move, jump, dance, and sing. Kids can modify heroes in the paint editor, add their own voices and sounds, even insert images of themselves -- then use the programming blocks to create their heroes come to life. ScratchJr was inspired by the famous Scratch programming language (http://scratch.mit.edu), used by millions of young people (ages 8 and up) around the globe. In creating ScratchJr, we redesigned the interface and programming language to create them developmentally appropriate for younger kids, carefully designing features to match young children's cognitive, private, social, and emotional development. We see coding (or computer programming) as a fresh kind of literacy. Just as writing helps you organize your thinking and express your ideas, the same is real for coding. In the past, coding was seen as too difficult for most people. But we think coding could be for everyone, just like writing. As young kids code with ScratchJr, they learn how to make and express themselves with the computer, not just to interact with it. In the process, kids learn to solve issues and design projects, and they develop sequencing skills that are foundational for later academic success. They also use math and language in a meaningful and motivating context, supporting the development of early-childhood numeracy and literacy. With ScratchJr, kids aren't just learning to code, they are coding to learn. ScratchJr is a collaboration between the Developmental Technologies group at Tufts University, the Lifelong Nursery school group at the MIT Media Lab, and the Playful Invention Company. Two Sigma led the implementation of the Android device ver of ScratchJr. The graphics and illustrations for ScratchJr were made by HvingtQuatre Company and Sarah Thomson.
