                 A computer cannot understand our language. It needs commands or instructions in a language it
                 understands. A computer programming language allows us to give instructions to the computer in
                 a language it understands. Scratch is an easy programming language that is used to create games,
                 animated stories and interactive arts and we can share these creations with one another over the
                 Internet. Scratch has blocks that are dragged to combine and create a project. In this chapter we
                 will learn about adding sprites, changing backdrops,  drawing shapes and using different types of
                 blocks. Before we actually start with all these, let us understand the screen of the Scratch.

                     STARTING SCRATCH
