About the World Scratch Battle

The World Scratch Battle is more than just a competition — it is a dynamic global platform designed to inspire creativity, logical thinking, and confidence in young coders aged 5 to 14. This exciting event brings together students from around the world to imagine, design, and build original games using block-based programming tools.

Participants will be given a theme at the beginning of the challenge and will have 60 minutes to create and submit their game.Within this limited time, they will transform ideas into interactive experiences, showcasing their creativity, coding skills, and problem-solving abilities.

More than a battle, this is a celebration of innovation and young talent. Students are challenged to think fast, build smart, and present their ideas with confidence. After evaluation by our judging panel, winners will be announced and recognized for their creativity, logic, and originality.
