In General young people from ages 5-17 are regarded as less creative when compared to the active working population with ages scaling from 25-45. Their opinions are less sought after whenever critical decisions are to be taken. For the fear that they would choose the unhealthy option. In contrast, I strongly disagree knowing the raw creative potential of a young child’s mind. For this reason I have decided to learn a programming application called Scratch. It stretches the mind to swim beyond the shallow waters of simple equations and unused arithmetic’s. Explicitly, it redefines logic with new found units for children to learn, build and grow. To emphasize this further, it uses the most basic geometric and trigonometric laws to create landscapes that bridges the gap between dreams and future realities. Forthwith Scratch is a programming application used to make drawings, pictures and animations come to life. It can be used to make games and so much more. Scratch is one of the best applications to have been created in our generation. Some of the games I created are: Bull attack, Basket all and Knights to the rescue, E.T.C Ultimately creativity is all that education should offer, yet only a few dare to raise such consciousness that questions reality.
