Scratch, as most of you are already aware, is a very simple block-based programming language and platform developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Because it is a block-based programming language, it is relatively simple for coding beginners or even children as young as six years old to grasp the fundamentals of coding with Scratch.

They can easily create a variety of games, apps, and other projects in Scratch due to its simplicity.

So, in essence, block-based programming means that codes have been assigned to blocks in the platform, and all coders need to do is drag and drop the blocks to create a project.

Anyone, regardless of if they possess prior knowledge of computer science, programming or not, can learn to code with Scratch. All that is needed is for a user to create a Scratch account to get started.

Now, If you’re reading this blog, chances are you already have a Scratch account!

Many people have problems with their email addresses after registering on Scratch.

It is common for people to need to change their email address for a variety of reasons, including personal preference or problems with their current email. In this blog, we will discuss how to easily update or change your email address.

But, before you change your email, you should be aware of the situations in which you must change or update it.

You only need to change your Scratch email address if: 

• You haven’t confirmed your Scratch email address and are having trouble doing so.
• You’d like to receive email updates from Scratch activity ideas or product updates at your new email address.
