Scratch is an interactive programming tool that allows you to make program different animations and make them do what you want them to do. As an adult, for myself, I do not see myself using this program much if at all, but for the younger crowd, elementary and middle school age, I can see this being something fun to do while learning how to use programing tools.  With technology being to prevalent, it is important for the youth to be engaged in these types of tools and programs, which can only help them develop their technical minds for later projects.
