Scratch Tactile
Inclusive and tangible coding
An Open Source Project
Break the screen and vision barrier
Scratch Tactile (formerly Scratch Jr Tactile) is an accessible, open-design educational resource that encourages the development of skills in computational thinking and transversal competencies, covering artistic, mathematical aspects and values of social equity. In addition, it provides students with visual impairments or other specific needs the opportunity to work on essential competencies for them.
More than a simple game or set of programming blocks, Scratch Tactile is characterized by being tangible, inclusive and does not require screens. Inspired by ScratchJr, it uses icons to facilitate the understanding of the programming language, thus eliminating communication barriers.

We are working on the Scratch Tactile pilot network. What a thrill! Special education schools, kindergarten, and primary education (K-6), in a network with makerspaces and people with a passion for technology and education collaborating together for socio-educational inclusion with Scratch Tactile!
75 educational centers in Spain from the regions of Catalonia and the Basque Country will be members of this pilot program.
