Scratch is a nonprofit, and donations from supporters help keep it free, safe, and friendly for Scratchers everywhere. Donations from members have made a big difference for Scratch, but we’ve learned that the current perks-based membership program is not the right fit for the Scratch community. Because of that, we’re pausing the Membership program. The last day for the current program will be June 15. We’re working on a new program for donors, and we’ll share more about it as soon as we can.

Perks for All!

Scratch Members received some perks like special sprites, avatar frames, and Cat Blocks. We’re excited to make these available to the entire global community.

• Cat Blocks: Open to everyone by early June

• Cat-ear avatar frames: Open to everyone by early June

• Zepto and Milli sprites: Open to everyone by early June

Thanks again to Members for making a difference for the community.

Scratch On!

At the Curiosity Convening, Scratch served as a case study of what it means to center curiosity in learning.

From the moment a young person opens the Scratch editor, they’re invited to explore their interests, whether by coding a game, animating a story, or designing something entirely new. There are no right answers or fixed outcomes. Learning unfolds through playful inquiry and experimentation.

Scratch shows what’s possible when curiosity drives learning. It offers a scalable, real-world model that helps reimagine education for the 21st century.

We want to address some of your concerns about the new Terms of Service.

We use aggregated and anonymized data to better understand what is working about Scratch (and what is not), not to gather any information about any individual. The information Scratch collects will not include names or personal details, and it isn’t–and won’t be–used to identify individual Scratchers.

Having a view of the community’s experience as a whole helps us make the community and platform better for you: whether you’re brand new or you’ve been making projects for years. When we started brainstorming what AI might look like on Scratch, we created a set of Guiding Stars and Lines in the Sand. We want to share them with you here:

Guiding Stars

Our “Guiding Stars” shape the design of AI features:

• Creativity: Empower kids’ self-expression
• Agency: Keep power and choice in kids’ hands
• Equity: Make it free, fair, inclusive, and accessible
• Community: Emphasize human connection and collaboration

Lines in the Sand

Our “Lines in the Sand” are boundaries we set for the responsible use of AI in Scratch:

• Safe: Prevent harmful content
• Ethical: Protect children’s data
• Transparent: Share information about how it works
• Human-Centered: Never undermine human agency or relationships

We also want to assure you that right now, we are not training any AI models on Scratchers’ data. Our work in this space is still in progress and as we iterate and improve our approach to AI, we want to hear from you. We will create opportunities to invite our community to test and provide feedback on AI-powered features as we design them, and you are always invited to send your thoughts to us; we read every message, and we are listening. Like everything at Scratch, we’re building these new features with you in mind, and doing our best to keep Scratch a safe, fun place for you to create what you imagine.

We’re looking forward to sharing more with you soon.

Scratch On!

The Scratch Team

The Scratch Education Collaborative (SEC) was established in 2021 to engage partners who work with educators from underserved and vulnerable communities, where youth have had fewer opportunities to participate in creative learning experiences.

We’re excited to announce the appointment of Champika Fernando as Chief Executive Officer of the Scratch Foundation.

As educators, families, and policymakers grapple with how children engage in an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving digital world, Champika will lead Scratch’s next chapter to ensure that young people continue to have safe online spaces to express themselves, learn from one another, and engage with technology in creative and meaningful ways.

Champika has a long history with Scratch. Over the past 15 years, they have played important roles in almost every aspect of the organization, including engineering, design, community, communications, fundraising, and partnerships. Champika served as interim Executive Director at Scratch in 2020 and has served on the Scratch Board of Directors for the past two years. With strong experience in product innovation and a deep commitment to core Scratch values, Champika has the ideal background to lead Scratch as it develops the next generation of its platform, Scratch 4.0.

Champika's career has spanned industry, academia, and the nonprofit sector. At Google, they developed connected products for kids and families in partnership with Pixar, Mattel, Pokémon, and other leading brands. At Mozilla, they launched and directed the Data Futures Lab, a technology incubator and global initiative helping communities build more equitable models of data stewardship. Champika holds a Master's degree from the MIT Media Lab and is also a filmmaker and storyteller.

“Throughout my career, I’ve been curious about the ways that technology can be a tool for creativity and collaboration—or something that can limit both,“ said Fernando. “For me, Scratch embodies the early ideals of the internet: a place where young people can express themselves, connect with others, and build cool things. As we look ahead to developing Scratch 4.0 and strengthening a sustainable future for the organization, keeping this vision at the center will be essential.”

“What's always stood out about Champika is how seriously they take the creativity and agency of young people,” said Mitch Resnick, Founder of Scratch and Chair of the Board. “That same respect shapes how they lead: listening carefully, building trust, and making room for others to contribute their best. I’m excited for what lies ahead under their leadership.”

About Scratch

Scratch is the world’s most popular coding community for young people, and the platform has been translated into more than 70 languages. Since the launch of Scratch in 2007, more than 150 million young people around the world have created stories, games, and animations with Scratch. 

The Scratch Shop is going on a short break while we imagine some exciting new designs and Scratch swag for everyone.

On this page, find announcements from the Scratch Team about upcoming events, features, and more.

The Scratch sprite library is full of a variety of characters. You can use sprites from the library or create your own original sprite using the Scratch Paint Editor tools, by remixing and reimagining the sprites in the library or uploading a drawing.

Explore the Scratch sound library, which is full of a variety of sound effects, voices, and longer sound loops. Try the music extension blocks that let you use the sounds of a variety of instruments and actual notes with customizable beat lengths to create digital instruments, songs, and more! Using sound in a game, animation, story, or interactive project can add depth and emotion. From the Scratch sound library, recording your own sound, uploading a sound, or using music blocks, experiment with options to make your sound project interactive using inputs like keyboard keys, the mouse, video motion, or even the features of your face or the Makey Makey combined with items like bananas!

Have you seen the "My Blocks" category in the Scratch blocks palette? When you click on it, no blocks are present until you create one. Let’s explore how to create a customized block and when and why you might want to use them.

Did you know, in Scratch, each sprite costume has a costume center (a center point that determines how sprites rotate, align when they “go to” each other, position themselves, etc.)? Did you know sprites could appear to be pointing in different directions based on how their costumes are drawn in the Scratch Paint Editor? Learn more to help with sprite animation.

Explore the Scratch backdrop library, draw your own using the Paint Editor tools, or upload an image to use. Make backdrops that scroll or trigger scene changes in a story. You can also visit our resources on sprite creation for Scratch Paint Editor and drawing tips and tricks.

Create digital drawings using the Pen Extension. These drawings, also known as turtle graphics, are created when a cursor (the "turtle") draws on a plane (like the Scratch stage). Turtle graphics help with algorithmic thinking and debugging, and they employ geometry concepts and focus on direction, location, and repetition/looping.

Explore the computational concepts of decomposition and sequence as you create a shape drawing in Scratch using the pen blocks, and create a visual artifact, enabling learners to observe results, debug, and iterate, all while having fun and gaining real-world problem solving and critical thinking skills!

Use Face Sensing blocks to create games, interactive stories, and accessible projects. These AI-powered blocks use a machine learning model to detect if they see a face and where a nose, eyes, ears, mouth, etc., are. The blocks do not collect or store personal information, like recordings or images of your face, making it a safe, fun, and creative way to explore the possibilities of AI. (Learn more in our announcement blog post here.)

Is Face Sensing safe and private? Yes. When you are using the Face Sensing blocks, only your computer can sense your face. None of your data is stored or sent to Scratch or any other site. Face Sensing blocks detect faces using a technology called "machine learning" (a subset of AI that enables machines to learn from data), but it is not training on your data while you use it. It has already been trained to see faces using a large number of photos of faces.

If I use the "Set Thumbnail" button while my face is on-screen, will it capture an image of my face? No. When using the Face Sensing extension, none of your data is stored or sent to Scratch or any other site, and your camera view is not captured when setting your project thumbnail, so your data remains private.

What if I want to hide my face/hide the visible video feed without removing the Face Sensing blocks? Any “Backdrop” created in the Sprite Area on your Face Sensing project will be hidden by default and replaced with your video feed, but you can create backdrops/ backgrounds as sprites instead. If the backdrop sprite covers the entire screen, none of your video feed will be visible, but the program will still be able to “go to nose” or recognize face tilt and face size. You can also use the “set ghost effect” block on the background sprite, if you want your video feed somewhat visible through the backdrop. Or add the Video Sensing Extension and use the "set video transparency block" available there to adjust how visible your video is.

I changed my mind about using Face Sensing blocks in my project, but the video feed is still on my screen. How can I get rid of it? No problem! If you no longer want to use the Face Sensing extension blocks in your project, remove all of the extension's blocks from the script area (drag blocks to the block palette to delete). Make sure to turn off any stage monitors by ensuring all checkboxes are unchecked in the blocks palette (next to blocks like "face tilt"), too. Save your project. Then, reload the project by refreshing the browser, or closing and reopening the project.

Why doesn't it always sense my face? The technology behind the Face Sensing blocks is not perfect. It is best at seeing faces that are brightly lit and close to the camera. It will often recognize faces even if they are partly hidden by a mask, glasses, hat, headscarf, or other covering. It does not do well at seeing faces that are far away, in the dark, or hidden. Try testing the blocks in different conditions, with your head in different positions, etc., and see what happens!

Does it work with photos or drawings of faces? Can I use them with my action figure or plush toy? Try holding different things with faces up to your camera and see what happens! The Face Sensing blocks can detect faces in photos, and even in drawings. You can try making a smiley face drawing and holding it up to the camera to see if it works.

What if my camera is not working? When you load the Face Sensing blocks, you should see video from your computer camera on the Scratch stage. If it doesn't appear, you may need to give Scratch permission to use your camera. Click "allow" when Scratch prompts for permission to use the camera, or check your web browser's settings.

Does Face Sensing work on all devices? Our goal is to make Face Sensing blocks work on all devices and web browsers supported by Scratch. Currently, Face Sensing blocks may not work on some Android and iOS devices. They may run slowly on some Chromebooks or older computers.

What can I do if Face Sensing feels slow or laggy? Face Sensing may run slowly on some devices. You can try closing other applications and browser tabs. If you are using your webcam in another app while Face Sensing is running (for example, a video call) try turning off your camera in that app.

Can I use Face Sensing blocks without a camera? While you can see and edit the code inside Face Sensing projects without a camera, you will need to use your device's camera in order to use Face Sensing functions.

I made a Face Sensing project in Scratch Lab. Can I share it on Scratch? Yes! You can upload and share any Scratch Lab projects you previously created and saved that used those experimental Face Sensing blocks. Just choose File>Load from My Computer to load your previously saved file in the project editor.

When will Face Sensing be available in languages other than English? Scratch's volunteer translators are working on translating Face Sensing blocks into multiple languages. This work is still in progress, and we hope to share more with you soon.

When will Face Sensing be available offline? Our team is hard at work making Face Sensing blocks available for downloadable Scratch Apps. We'll be sure to share an update with you as soon as we have it.

The Scratch online community is a global space where young people can create, share, and receive feedback from others around the world. It is a unique aspect of our coding platform that we encourage users to explore.

Do you want to create your own text generator to display changing text on the Scratch project stage without creating sprite costumes for each line of text? Text generators could be used in games, storytelling projects, informational projects, and more! Let's explore how to create a text generator that you can then customize.

Using sound in a game, animation, story, or interactive project can add depth and emotion. The Scratch sound library is full of a variety of sound effects, instrument notes, and music loops, or there is an option to upload your own sound clips. And by adding the music extension blocks, you can use the sounds of a variety of instruments and actual notes with customizable beat lengths to create digital instruments, songs, and more! Join us to explore some of the ways you can use sound and add another element of creativity to Scratch projects.
