Nope! Participating in the week is completely free. Our how-to-guide is free. Our lesson plans are free. Our training sessions are free. We’re a charitable initiative supported by amazing organizations like Canadian Heritage and Boeing to make coding education accessible to all.

Created by MIT, Scratch is an ideal tool for teaching beginners the concepts of code and computational thinking. It is a visual tool that enables total beginners to better understand how to code by moving blocks and constructing logic in easy to understand (and fun!) ways. It’s also platform agnostic which means you can use it on iPads, Macs or PC’s alike both online (connected to the internet) and offline.
