Scratch is a block-based coding language where children can program and share stories, games, and animation with people from all over the world. As children create with Scratch, they learn to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically. Scratch is designed especially for young people ages 8 to 16, but people of all ages create and share with Scratch. Students are learning Math, Computer Science, Social Studies with Scratch. The computer science concepts used in Scratch can be applied to other advanced programming languages, like Python.

When people think of ‘programming’ or ‘coding’, they’re usually – and naturally – thinking about software. Coding can be about more than just software, though: it can affect the real world through hardware. This is known as physical computing. As the name suggests, physical computing is all about controlling things in the real world with your programs: hardware, rather than software. When you set the program on your washing machine, change the temperature on your programmable thermostat, or press a button at traffic lights to cross the road safely, you’re using physical computing.

Across the globe, the pace of digital transformation is accelerating. It is redefining traditional industry sectors and the way we live and work. For example, few years ago, one had to go to a restaurant to eat the food of his choice, thanks to digital technologies now one can sit back on his couch and order his delicacies from the restaurant of his choice to be delivered at his doorstep that too in just a click away. Until 1980’s there were hardly any televisions in every house, now each individual can watch his favorite shows in his convenient time in his place of choice. All these changes have taken place in a very short span of time. This clearly indicates the future to be more advanced and challenging for the generations to come. What do researchers say about the need to cope up with this transformation? A new report by the World Economic Forum, Realizing Human Potential in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, highlights that the present education systems are failing our chil
