What is Scratch Tactile?

Scratch Tactile is a kit based on the designs and creative philosophy of ScratchJr, the version of Scratch for the little ones. Thanks to them, students will be able to play and learn, or learn by playing while developing in an inclusive way the skills that are very necessary for today's society, such as digital skills, critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork (competences of the 21st century).

The idea... why tactile?

Technology has transformed our society. In every area of work, from science, medicine, and art to most daily actions such as shopping, transactions, and traveling, technology is incorporated. To become informed and empowered citizens, the next generation of students must understand the digital world where they live. Therefore computational thinking has been called the '21st-century skill set' and is important for everyone to learn, EVERYONE without exception. 

​

For this reason, we have created Scratch Jr tactile, a tangible educational material that brings creative programming and computational thinking closer to ALL children, regardless of their different abilities and economic conditions.
