I love doing scratch at school but at school but I can't find out how to get on at home.

I would like to see an api that lets people set up their own scratch communities and make their own scratch programing software!

I’ve downloaded and played with this software.

Its excellent. Even I can pick it up pretty quickly and I’m no teenager. I’d love to see more examples of the work of the young programmers.
