Description of Resource

With PBS KIDS ScratchJr, kids can create their own interactive stories and games through programming activities and lessons.

Learn the basics of coding through fun games and activities featuring characters from Wild Kratts, Molly of Denali, Odd Squad, Nature Cat, Arthur, Peg + Cat, and Ready Jet Go! The storytelling possibilities are endless with this creative coding app for children ages 5-8.

Children can express their creativity and make characters move, jump, dance and sing by snapping together colorful programming blocks. This app helps kids learn the foundation of programming and coding concepts in a way that’s fun and easy to learn. As kids play, they’ll learn to solve problems, design projects and express themselves creatively.

With PBS KIDS ScratchJr, young kids can play and practice early school concepts at home.
