Great application for teaching the fundamentals of programming logic. Scratch has a "drop and drag" interface and "code" is created in the Scripts panel and allows a beginner to use more complex structures such as loops and if statements without actually having to know the "how's". I use this tool in the first 4 hours of teaching programming to beginners by teaching students how to make a simple fish game and then once they have these basic concepts understood, then build on their previous knowledge by teaching them how to make their own version of Pacman. So a highly recommended tool for all levels of students.
