Abstract

The main goal of Scratch is to make programming fun. Nowadays, digital literacy is very important and is developing every day. This, in turn, makes it possible to teach algorithmization, coding and, in general, the basics of modern digital literacy from an early age. Mastering the program gives students a good incentive to further master more complex programs. This article shows the capabilities and advantages of the Scratch program, as well as how to work with it. The main feature of the program is its bright interface and accessible programming language. It explains in detail why this program is taught and taught from elementary school. 
The skills that the program gives students and the skills they can master are shown. Methods and examples are shown to get students interested in the program.
