PBS KIDS ScratchJr helps children ages 5-8 learn core coding concepts as they create their own interactive stories and games using PBS KIDS characters. PBS KIDS ScratchJr incorporates PBS KIDS media properties, including WILD KRATTS, WORDGIRL, PEG + CAT and the new series NATURE CAT. As kids snap together colorful programming blocks to make their favorite characters move, jump, dance and sing, they will learn to solve problems, design projects and express themselves creatively.
PBS KIDS ScratchJr is now available for free from the App Store on iPad and from Google Play store on Android tablet. More information on PBS KIDS apps is available at pbskids.org/apps
PBS KIDS ScratchJr is a collaboration between the DevTech Research Group at the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Study and Human Development in Tufts University’s School of Arts and Sciences, the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab, and the Playful Invention Company.
