Curso Scratch Scratch es un entorno gráfico de programación desarrollado por un grupo de investigadores del Lifelong Kindergarten Group del Laboratorio de Medios del MIT, bajo la dirección del Dr. Mitchel Resnick. Este entorno aprovecha los avances en diseño de interfaces para hacer que la programación sea más atractiva y accesible para todo aquel que se enfrente por primera vez a aprender a programar. Scratch permite crear fácilmente historias interactivas propias, animaciones, juegos, grabar sonidos y realizar creaciones artísticas. El nombre de Scratch se deriva de la técnica de “rayar” (Scratching) que utilizan los “disc jockeys” de hip-hop, que giran con sus manos los discos de vinilo hacia delante y hacia atrás para mezclar clips de música que unen de maneras creativas.
