What is Scratch Tactile?

Discover Scratch Tactile! Scratch Tactile is an exciting and accessible way to learn to code without a screen. Instead of using a keyboard or mouse, you can program with physical blocks that represent code instructions, characters, and backgrounds.

 

Thanks to this interactive approach, children can develop their computing skills in an intuitive, fun, and inclusive way, regardless of their learning style, age, abilities, or interests.

 

Scratch Tactile fosters creativity, logical thinking, and problem-solving in innovative ways, bringing programming to a broader and more diverse audience.

 

If you want to learn to code in a unique and accessible way, join the learning revolution with Scratch Tactile and discover a world of possibilities!

Two ways to start

Learn to program in an accessible way

Scratch Tactile is designed to offer an inclusive approach to programming for all children. Its tangible building block approach makes learning easier for those who struggle with digital interfaces or simply enjoy direct contact with materials.

 

One of its greatest benefits is that it helps develop computational thinking, or in other words, the ability to solve problems in a structured and logical way. By manipulating the blocks and seeing how their combinations generate different results, children learn to organize ideas, identify patterns, and construct solutions step by step.

This method helps those who struggle with traditional devices . Children with visual impairments can identify blocks by shape and texture, and those with motor limitations use easy-to-handle pieces. Scratch Tactile promotes inclusive, self-paced learning, encouraging collaboration between children with and without disabilities in programming, creativity, problem-solving, empathy, and teamwork.

An open source project

Scratch Tactile is an open source project, meaning all the materials are open for anyone to create, modify, and improve. This allows the educational and maker community to contribute new ideas, adaptations, and improvements to make it even more accessible and functional.

 

But the best part is that you too can be part of this community. In the community, you'll find creations shared by other people, from new block designs to activities and learning ideas. You can be inspired by them, contribute your own ideas, and share what you build for others to use.

 

Dare to create, experiment, and grow Scratch Tactile!

A tool for everyone

Scratch Tactile isn't limited to any specific audience: it's a tool designed to help any child, with or without disabilities, discover the world of programming. Its fun and accessible approach makes it a great option for schools, workshops, and families looking for a different way to learn with technology.

 

Coding is a key skill for the future, and thanks to tools like Scratch Tactile, more and more children can explore it in an inclusive and barrier-free way.
