Scratch, developed by MIT, is the gold standard for learning to code creatively. This software helps develop computational thinking skills while removing barriers to self-expression through program design. Without intimidating grammar or syntax, you can focus on solving problems and building projects that are more fun than work. These skills transfer to exploring VEX Virtual Robotics where you’ll dive into navigation, more advanced AI, and solve real-world-inspired problems with sensor data. Start your pathway to a lifelong journey of creative coding and design!
