All kinds of people love Hopscotch: kids, programmers, parents, and teachers.
“Wow, I never knew I could make my own game. I’m completely addicted. It’s so much more fun to make games than play them.” -- Ethan, 12 years old
“My daughter is obsessed with Hopscotch. Instead of playing games, she is building and publishing her own. It’s brilliant.” -- Paul, a very cool dad
“I'm not your target audience, as I'm 39 years old and a university senior manager in the UK. It has been years since I did any programming, but I got into Hopscotch earlier this month after exploring it with my 12- year- old son... I'm now addicted and last night published my first game!” -- Andrew, a rockstar dad and former programmer
“My students love working on this app and being able to code has given them a much better understanding of how computers work. Hopscotch has demystified the tech in their lives. Now, they look at something on the computer and say “I could code that!” --Jesse, an awesome teacher
+” Hopscotch is so much more than a kid's toy. It is a Turing-complete language and seamless programming environment for writing and prototyping real video games”. --Emily, pro game designer
Learning to code has never been easier or more fun. Hopscotch offers free, super simple videos that let you to make your own versions of your favorite games (like Geometry Dash!), create drawing apps, and build tons of cool projects. Plus, over 40 challenges help you develop your skillz. Most importantly, the Hopscotch community is always around to answer questions, squash bugs, and give you ideas.
We can’t wait to see what you create.

With ScratchJr, young children (ages 5-7) learn important new skills as they program their own interactive stories and games.
By snapping together graphical programming blocks, children can make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. In the process, children learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively on the computer. They also use math and language in a meaningful and motivating context, supporting the development of early-childhood numeracy and literacy. With ScratchJr, children don’t just learn to code, they code to learn.
ScratchJr was inspired by the popular Scratch programming language (http://scratch.mit.edu), used by millions of people (ages 8 and up) around the world. The ScratchJr interface and programming language were redesigned to make them appropriate for younger children’s cognitive, personal, social, and emotional development.
ScratchJr is a collaboration between the Lifelong Kindergarten research group at the MIT Media Lab, the Developmental Technologies research group at Tufts University, and the Playful Invention Company. The ScratchJr project has received generous financial support from the National Science Foundation (NSF DRL-1118664), Code-to-Learn Foundation, LEGO Foundation, and British Telecommunications.
If you enjoy using this free app, please consider making a donation to the Code-to-Learn Foundation (www.codetolearn.org), a nonprofit organization that provides ongoing support for ScratchJr. We appreciate donations of all sizes, large and small.
