Scratch is a learning environment developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at MIT Media Lab. It's 100% free software, and aims to provide programming to everyone from 8 years old. Currently is being used worldwide, and experiences with Scratch are everywhere (as was seen in Scratch Day).

Scratch is a learning environment developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at MIT Media Lab. It's 100% free software, and aims to provide programming to everyone from 8 years old. Currently is being used worldwide, and experiences with Scratch are everywhere (as was seen in Scratch Day). The programming language linked to Scratch environment is an imperative language with basic constructions (variables, assignment, loops, conditionals and calls to functions and actions) powered with a large group of instructions for work on multimedia projects. A Scratch project will typically be a game or an animation with sophisticated designs, icons, sound and motion graphics (you can get an idea of visiting the projects supporters Scratch http://scratch.mit.edu). What is more original Scratch is the metaphor behind it, which is nothing less than game of blocks, as Lego or similar game. Each instruction, or instruction set embedded, is related to others when stickes together if it happens within or precede or if it becomes part of an upper structure such as a loop. So we'll build our programs, piece by piece, just as if we were making a castle.

S4A is a Scratch modification that supports simple programming of the Arduino open source hardware platform. It provides new blocks for managing sensors and actuators connected to Arduino. There is also a sensor report board similar to the PicoBoard.

It has been created to attract people to the programming world. The goal is also to provide a high level interface to Arduino programmers with functionalities such as interacting with a set of boards through user events. More info here.
