About
With OctoStudio, young people can create interactive animations and games using a mobile phone or tablet anytime anywhere. Take photos and record sounds, bring them to life with coding blocks, and send to family and friends. Now available on Chromebooks too!
OctoStudio is developed by Lifelong Kindergarten, the MIT Media Lab group that created Scratch, the world’s most popular coding language for kids. OctoStudio is completely free of charge.
