Body.Scratch is an immersive game for K-12 organizations to engage in computer science in a full-body experience
ENROLL MY CLASS
Tech & AI can be intimidating for PO & VO educators to use in the classroom. Discover 12 active sessions to gain insights, resources & solutions.
Simple, free, hands-on.
We empower the youth to create the world of tomorrow, at a time when technology numbs out young brains. Students build games, digital art, animations and more through dance logic!
Moving helps with creative problem-solving as it lights up different parts of the brain. We encourage synchronicity between mind and body, to foster creativity while maintaining a healthy process of using technology.
The ability to collaborate is inevitable to thrive in life. By having complementary roles, bodyscratchers learn to trust each other and take decisions within short time spans.
Meet Buddyscratch, our AI learning assistant that helps both non-technical teachers and students in the learning journey.

We believe it is essential to learn how to interact healthfully, playfully and creatively with technology from an early age.
A central notion in our method is integrating the body in the learning process. Very often, screen-based interactions and curriculums omit to take body memory and motoric development into account, resulting in having deficiency in the learning capabilities of children. Being productive and efficient does not work in the long run with unhealthy habits. Children find joy and meaning in being able to move while learning. And let's be real, we know how cool it is to drop some slick moves with friends!
We base our workshops on Scratch, which is very accessible for children already. This is our current focus. In a near future we will be developing formats for other languages.
We typically onboard learner from 8-16 year old, in primary and secondary.
Depending on which session and age group, the final outcome may vary. There is a First Practice Mode to learn the gameplay basics. You can then access the Play Mode to build animations, games and stories freely. Check out our weekly challenges to always discover new ways fo bodyscratching.
Fantastic! It is much easier to start on a clean sheet with no “bad habits” integrated already. No experience in coding or dancing is required, our tools guide the players every time they need support.
Not at all! We build our software with teachers, that we remain connected to their reality. Additionally, if you are located in the Netherlands, we are giving 12 free workshops in 12 cities for teachers to get acquainted with our solution: Join the Beyond The Classroom tour.
