Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu/) is a popular free software package used in schools to introduce simple computer programming.
Scratch was made popular in the UK through Code Clubs. Scratch is used as the introductory language because creation of interesting programs is relatively easy, and skills learnt can be applied to other basic programming languages such as Python and Java.
