ScratchJr1.2.5

ScratchJr is an introductory programming language that enables young children (ages 5 and up) to create their own interactive stories and games. Children snap together graphical programming blocks to make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. Children can modify characters in the paint editor, add their own voices and sounds, even insert photos of themselves -- then use the programming blocks to make their characters come to life.

ScratchJr was inspired by the popular Scratch programming language , used by millions of young people (ages 8 and up) around the world. In creating ScratchJr, we redesigned the interface and programming language to make them developmentally appropriate for younger children, carefully designing features to match young children's cognitive, personal, social, and emotional development.

We see coding (or computer programming) as a new type of literacy. Just as writing helps you organize your thinking and express your ideas, the same is true for coding. In the past, coding was seen as too difficult for most people. But we think coding should be for everyone, just like writing.

As young children code with ScratchJr, they learn how to create and express themselves with the computer, not just to interact with it. In the process, children learn to solve problems and design projects, and they develop sequencing skills that are foundational for later academic success. They also use math and language in a meaningful and motivating context, supporting the development of early-childhood numeracy and literacy. With ScratchJr, children aren't just learning to code, they are coding to learn.

ScratchJr is a collaboration between the Developmental Technologies group at Tufts University, the Lifelong indergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, and the Playful Invention Company. Two Sigma led the implementation of the Android version of ScratchJr. The graphics and illustrations for ScratchJr were created by HvingtQuatre Company and Sarah Thomson.

This version of ScratchJr works only on tablets that are 7-inches or larger, and running Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) or higher

ScratchJr 1.5.8

Pscratchjr is an educational app designed to create stories in a fun way through programming. This app is aimed at children between the ages of 5 and 7 years old who want to express their creativity while learning programming. Ppthe interface is quite colorful in scratchjr and provides a clear access to every section of the application. The animation scenes with all the graphic resources contained in this educational app can be compiled. There is an array of characters, backgrounds, objects, places. Scratchjr's only limit is the imagination of the person who uses it. These visual elements can not only be added to your scenes but can also be modified to yield a fully customized result. Besides it's possible to include voices and sounds as well as external images so that the little ones don't have reason to get bored with this app. Ppscratchjr is an interesting educational app to expand the creativity of those who use it while learning programming along the way. Inspired by scratch the app has its name from the programming language.
