If you want to learn more about programming,
but feel intimidated by the long and complex lines of code,
I have good news for you.
There is a free online programming environment
called Scratch that offers a much more accessible way to learn more
about the fundamentals of computer science.
By default, you are given a character, the Scratch cat,
and a bunch of building blocks that you can use to make the cat do things.
For example, if you put these two blocks together, and then click
the green flag, the cat will say whatever
it is you wrote in the say block.
You can then experiment with motion, sound, events, and so much more.
In the end, you may even have something like this.
