In the previous class, we have learnt about the program ScratchJr. It is used to create
                 animations and games. Scratch is another program, that is used in a similar way but it has
                 more features than ScratchJr. Let us learn about Scratch.

                 Scratch

                 Scratch is a software that helps you understand and create many games. It helps to make
                 the young students learn game creation with ease. There are many versions of Scratch. The

                 latest version is Scratch 3.0.
                 Uses of Scratch

                    In Scratch, there are colourful objects to make program creation fun and easy.

                    You can create animations, quizzes and stories.
                    You can create and share your Scratch projects Online on the Scratch website.

                    The website also has an option to see projects created by others in Scratch. You can even
                   make changes to the projects created by others.

                          Scratch was created by Mitchel Resnick at the MIT Media Lab

                                   Suppose, you have to code an environmental conservation game in Scratch where
                                   players  work  to  protect  endangered  species  and  preserve  ecosystems. What
                                   environmental challenges they tackle, and how they make a positive impact?
