scratch.mit.edu Overview

Description of scratch.mit.edu

scratch.mit.edu appears to be the web platform for Scratch, a free programming language and online community focused on helping users create interactive stories, games, and animations. The page title and visible homepage content indicate an educational, creativity-oriented service with sections for creating projects, exploring community content, and resources for parents and educators.

Based on the domain and branding, the site appears to be associated with MIT through the mit.edu domain structure. The homepage presentation suggests it is operated as a nonprofit-oriented educational platform aimed primarily at children, students, teachers, and families who want to learn coding concepts through visual programming and project sharing.

Safety Assessment for scratch.mit.edu

The available scan results are strongly positive at the time of this scan. The domain was flagged by 0 out of 91 security engines, the malware scan reported 0 flagged files out of 12 checked, and the listed external links and referenced domains did not show flagged items in the provided results. In addition, multiple blacklist and threat-database checks were reported as clean, including phishing and malware-oriented sources.

Other contextual signals also support a low-risk assessment. The domain is very old, the page content matches a well-known educational programming community, and the screenshot shows a consistent, professional site experience rather than signs commonly associated with phishing, fake giveaways, or scam storefronts. Based on available data, no threats were detected at the time of this scan.

Technical Description

The site is using a valid SSL/TLS certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, with the certificate shown as expiring on 2026-10-05. It is hosted on infrastructure associated with Fastly, Inc., and the nameserver configuration points to Akamai-operated DNS infrastructure, which suggests use of established content delivery and traffic-distribution services.

DNSSEC status was not available in the provided data, so that control could not be confirmed from this scan alone. No immediate technical security concerns were evident from the supplied scan results, and the linked resources appear limited to ordinary site assets plus common third-party delivery and analytics components.
