Scratch received a $5 million dollar Google.org grant in 2020 to expand its efforts to provide resources and training to educators and young people who are historically excluded from computing. CS First, Google's coding curriculum for elementary school students, is built on the Scratch editor and has taught students across the globe how to code.
“Google.org has been a huge supporter of Scratch and with our last grant we actually were able to start the Scratch Education Collaborative, so it’s a group of organizations around the world that are really focused on helping kids to learn how to code creatively,” Young said.
