About Pytch
Pytch is a web-based programming environment designed to help learners transition from block-based programming (like Scratch) to text-based programming such as Python, offering a familiar Scratch-like interface while using Python code for sprites and animations.
Scratch
Scratch is a block-based programming language designed for children, which allows users to create interactive stories, games, and animations.
Pytch
Pytch builds a bridge from Scratch to Python, making it easier for learners to move into more advanced coding concepts. Pytch retains elements of Scratch, such as sprites, while users learn to write Python code, gradually introducing them to text-based programming.
Python
Python is an object-oriented and dynamic programming language and one of the most popular programming languages in the world.
Availability
Pytch is and will stay a free platform for learners and educators.
