Celebration event for young programmers

For the first time, China will form part of a global network of events held annually to promote a free programming language for children developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Scratch is a programming environment aimed at beginners, offering an introduction to the world of computer animation, game, and interactive story creation.

The aim of Scratch Day, which falls on May 14, is to celebrate the young people who use the programming language and their creations.
