Engaging  - Students can create any content they wish, including creating something they are passionate about!

Mid-Low Entry, High Ceiling - Students can create simple to incredibly complex games

Teacher Responsive - Requires some basic coding knowledge first for teachers to instruct, without it teachers may feel lost

Open community - Scratch is incredibly popular and has a robust coding community

Cross Curricular - Scratch can perform any classes curricular goals as it is a game builder, not a game itself.
