Advantages of Scratch

Scratch is the preferred language for young learners for the following reasons:

Commands are block-based, so there is nothing to remember.
Blocks can be dragged and snapped to build programs.

They fit together like puzzle pieces.

Each block has its own colour and group for easy finding.
Projects can be shared with others.

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