Turn screen time from something you feel guilty about…
into something you feel proud of.
For parents who want more than games. For kids who want to build them.
If your child loves gaming — and you've quietly wondered whether all those hours are actually leading somewhere — Griffpatch Academy is the answer you've been looking for.
This is where kids go from playing games… to building them.
Season by season. Game by game.
Guided every step of the way by the world's #1 block coding educator — who will personally review your child's work and recognise them publicly by name.
No coding experience needed. No technical knowledge required from you.
Just a child with a spark — and a place that will fan it into something real.
It's Tuesday night. 8:47pm.
She's on the sofa. There's a half-empty cup of tea going cold next to her...
Her 10-year-old has been on his iPad since dinner. She said he could have 30 more minutes - at 7. She hasn't said anything since.
She can hear the sounds of a game from upstairs. Jumping sounds. Explosions. Laughter at something on YouTube.
She's not angry. She's just… tired.
She knows she should go up and say something. She's been meaning to sort this out for weeks — find something better for him to do on screens. Something that actually leads somewhere. She looked up a few things months ago. Nothing stuck.
Tomorrow she'll sort it.
But tonight, she says nothing.
And a quiet voice in the back of her head says: "Is this it? Is this just what evenings look like now?"
If you recognised yourself in that moment — you're exactly who this is for.
Because that quiet tension you feel? It's not about screen time.
It's about something deeper.
"I don't want to raise a child who consumes and drifts. I want to raise one who creates, contributes, and thrives."
Griffpatch Academy exists for that parent. And for that child.
The problem isn’t screen time. It’s passive screen time.
Your child isn't lazy. They're not wasting their potential. They're just spending it in the wrong direction — consuming instead of creating.
And the hardest part?
You can't help them. Not because you don't care — but because this is a world you don't fully understand. You can't sit beside them and guide them through it. You can't see when they're stuck. You can't tell when they've quietly given up.
So the hours pass. Nothing is built. Nothing is finished. And nothing is shown.
Meanwhile, your child is quietly asking themselves:
"Maybe I'm just not good enough to actually make something."
They don't say it out loud. But it's there.
The old approach doesn't work.
YouTube tutorials teach. But no one notices what your child builds. No one helps when it breaks. No one is waiting on the other side of the screen saying "show me what you made."
Random courses start strong. Then life happens. Interest fades. And the guilt of another abandoned subscription quietly lands.
This is different.
Introducing: The Griffpatch Build-Along Method
The only place in the world where the #1 block coding educator can personally review your child's game.
Griffpatch doesn't teach coding as a subject.
He guides children through building real, complete games — season by season — like following a LEGO manual from start to finish, but with video. Every concept, every mechanic, every line of logic is woven in as they build — not delivered as a lecture to sit through.
Kids don't just watch. They build.
And at the end of every season? They have something real. Something finished. Something they made.
Something they can show.
"I made this."
That sentence changes everything.
And here's what makes it unlike anything else:
The platform your child builds on is already used in classrooms around the world. What they create inside the Academy reinforces real programming logic — the kind that makes Python, JavaScript, and every language they'll ever encounter feel familiar, not frightening.
This isn't just a hobby. This is the foundation of a future.
What Your Child Gets
#1 🎮 Your Build Starts Today
The Current Season Build-Along Project
The moment they join, your child drops straight into an active game being built — step by step, video by video. No waiting. No confusion about where to start.
No more wondering "what are they actually doing on there?" — you'll know exactly where they are, what they're building, and how far they've come.
And for your child? They start building a real game from their very first day. Not a fake one. Not a toy one. A game they'll actually want to show people.
#2 📚 The Griffpatch Library: Every Build We've Ever Done
The Complete Griffpatch Library
Access to every game build the Academy has ever run — including exclusive projects found nowhere else, extended builds not on YouTube, and an ever-growing library of game genres to explore.
When one build ends, the next is already waiting.
Momentum doesn't die between seasons. There's always something next. No dead ends. No "now what?"
And for your child — every new project teaches them something the last one didn't. They'll never run out of things to build.
#3 🤝 Never Get Stuck Alone
The Griffpatch Community
A safe, moderated global community where kids ask questions, share their games, find friends who get it, and support each other. Griffpatch himself is in the forum every single day — answering questions, encouraging builders, and making every child feel seen.
You don't need to understand coding to support your child. The community does that for you. Safely. Warmly. Every day.
And when something breaks and your child doesn't know why — there's always someone to ask. They're never stuck alone. And sometimes, Griffpatch himself answers.
#4 🏆 The Game Jam: Build, Enter, Get Noticed
Themed CODING COMPETITIONS
Every six weeks, a new themed Game Jam opens — independent of the season build, so any member can enter their own original creation.
Griffpatch personally reviews every submission and leaves a comment publicly on your child's Scratch profile.
Their friends can see it.
Their classmates can see it.
The whole community can see it.
This is the moment your child turns the screen around and says — "Look what I made. Griffpatch commented on mine."
PLus these EXCLUSIVE PERKS
⭐ PERK 1 — "The Griffpatch Seal of Approval"
Personal Game Review + Public Profile Comment
For every Game Jam entry, Griffpatch personally reviews the submission and leaves a public comment on your child's profile — visible forever, to anyone who visits.
This is not feedback inside a dashboard. This is Griffpatch — the most famous name in their world — publicly recognising what your child created.
"Other kids get YouTube. Your child gets noticed by the person they watch on YouTube."
🐧 PERK 2 — "The Coding Starter Kit"
From Zero to Builder — Your Child's First Win
Brand new to coding? No problem. The Coding Starter Kit walks any child through setting up their free account and building their first complete game — the Penguin Maze Escape — in just an hour.
A quick win. A confidence builder. The beginning of a builder's identity from Day 1.
Your child builds their first real game before they even start the season. They'll know they can do this — because they already did.
🤲 PERK 3 — The Kindness Ladder
Peer Recognition & Community Leadership
When a member helps a fellow student, peers can nominate them with a single click. It's not about being the best coder — it's about being the best community member.
You're not just investing in coding skills. You're investing in your child's character — their leadership, their kindness, their ability to contribute. This is the Academy building the whole child.
And for your child — you don't have to be the best at coding to be recognised here. You just have to show up for others — and others will show up for you.
📬 PERK 4 — "The Parent's Peace of Mind Guide"
The Non-Technical Parent's Welcome Series
A dedicated welcome email series written specifically for parents who don't understand coding. Tells you exactly what to expect, how to support your child without needing to understand a single line of code, what the season looks like week by week, and how to see your child thriving — even if you can't follow what they're building.
"You don't need to understand what they're making to know they're becoming something."
Who This Is - And Isn't - For
This is for your child if:
They love games and want to build their own
They've tried tutorials but nothing ever stuck
They get frustrated and quit when things break
They want to be recognised for what they create
They haven't found their people yet
This is for you if:
You feel guilty about passive screen time
You've tried courses before and wasted money
You don't understand coding and can't help them
You want to future-proof them but don't know how
You want to feel proud — not just relieved
❌ This is not for you if:
The Academy includes a fully moderated forum designed specifically for young coders.
• You want another course they'll never finish
• You're happy with passive screen time as it is
• You don't believe a child can build something genuinely impressive

I'm an adult and I know how to code in other languages, but I still watch your videos, because having to translate the simple blocks into real code gives me a better understanding of how and why it works, than copying stuff off of Github or Stack Overflow. Thanks for all your help Griffpatch
Carli (Student)
Your tutorials are fantastic! Although I've been on scratch for over 4 years, your tutorials still teach me new stuff. Your tutorials are really easy for anyone to understand- making the code very customizable! A key part of tutorials is explaining why you need that piece of code, how it works, and the like. Some people will just sit there telling you what to do- but not why it works. Thank you for being such an influential scratcher. Please keep it up! Plus: I'm looking forward to a new tutorial past this- possibly a roguelike? ;)
Mountain Tiger (Student)
Amazing video as before in this series. I started doing scratch and then moved on to C# and Unity and even in a more advanced language i still am learning things from you. You Rock Griffpatch ⚡ And out of all the videos uploaded by subscribers in my list i always watch your first!
Dawn (Student)
I love these tutorials! I'm a computer science student now, but my original interest in programming came from Scratch. The way you explain how things work in these videos is amazing, it's done in a way that even beginner Scratchers can pick up on, and I still find myself learning new and better ways to organize my code from them. I love seeing how much Scratch can really do...
@user-yg3ub7vx9l (Student)
I had 5 online teachers who taught me game design, yet i found Griffpatch and i learned more stuff from his videos more than all of my old teachers combined i love ur videos! :D
Johanna (Student)
BEST TEACHER EVERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jane (Student)
When Griffpatch is way smarter than your computing teacher (fr we did scratch and she knew nothing about scratch)
Jama
(Student)
Thank you Griffpatch for the tutorials :) you have improved the scratch experience for people and you are the only reason I got into programming! Even if you don't read this, I just want to write a thank you note. love from South Africa
Bob (Student)
Your Scratch tutorials are unmatched. I think you've found a perfect balance between keeping the videos a certain length and making sure the viewer understands what they're doing. I usually watch the tutorials before following them so I have a general idea of what I'm going to have to do when I eventually follow them. Keep doing what you're doing, because you're doing an incredible job. :)
@MyCodingDiarie (Student)
I feel smarter after watching your videos. Thank you!
Ethan
(Student)
When was 9 found your account on Scratch, you amazed me with what you could do with it and inspired me to start teaching myself how to code. Now I'm finishing my 2nd semester of CS at university and am loving it still. Just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me as a kid.
Jordan
(Student)
I think everything about your videos is great. They are the right pace with the right amount of explanation. I wouldn't even mind if they were longer! I always learn the most and retain the information using your tutorials! I always ask myself when I am stuck on a coding problem: what would Griffpatch do!
Chieseledboockshelf(Student)
Can you be my math teacher?
Vixioelol (Student)
If Griffpatch were my computer science teacher that would be my favourite class
TappoType

Absolute GOLD of a tutorial! You keep blowing me away, Griffpatch!
Ben
(Student)
9 months ago I just found that you made a channel as I wanted to thank you. I followed your work as a kid and it defo was a big part of what sparked my interest in programming. years on and my interest is still going strong. Hopefully going to university for computer science next year. So yeah thanks.
Paul

You would be the teacher everyone loves at school
Campanariart2721 (Student)
You inspired me to make my dream game, you are the best teacher ever!
@o9mansionboy_creater (Student)
You are just the best Griffpatch you are the one who inspired me to start my coding adventure and iv learned so much and I am glad to say thanks for all you have done I would have not discovered my passion for coding without you so I am very glad to say I love your idea of a academy for more people to get inspired like you did to me I am eternaly grateful for you
And Parents...
1984drum (Parent)
Just want to say thanks for all the amazing tutorials. My son was off school for a a few days with an illness and we worked together to see who could finish as much of the mario platformer as possible. Loads of fun! He said he's learned way more doing your tutorials than he would have at school lol
Eayuwna (Parent)
Thank you for all your efforts. My 9 year old son is now the king of his code club having followed your tutorial and has started asking me to teach him what sin, cos and tan are - wish me luck ;-) Your content is so well put together thank you so much.
Jean-Baptiste (Parent)
The pace is great. Sometimes we follow along with my son and sometimes we just watch you work your magic together. I can’t overstate the positive impact you have on my 7yo son, he loves you and we bond watching your videos.
Daniel (Parent)
I am loving this series as my daughter is having great fun making gardens and house interiors with the editor.
Steve (Parent)
Pace is great! We pause frequently but sometimes keep up. I’d rather that than too slow. My 11-yo and I are coding the rpg series together (each on separate computers) and it has been great quality time. He has done and loved many of your other videos. When I don’t follow the rationale of the script, I hit the back arrow for 10 or 20 second rewind and listen again after I have the code in place. Of course, my son gets it all the first time, sometimes even predicting what you’ll do next
Mike (Grandparent)
As a retired electrical engineer... who has been coding for the last 50 years I have gone through the learning curve of becoming productive in a new programming language multiple times... My grandson and I have been getting together once or twice a week for over a year to develop our Scratch skills. Your video approach has allowed us to learn more about productive Scratch coding in the last 3 months than all we did in the previous year. You have a gift for explaining complex graphics concepts in terms that your followers can understand and adapt as we experiment with your code. You should feel good knowing how much you are contributing to the positive development of a whole generation of Scratchers.
George (Parent)
I am a Software Developer with over 30 years experience, but my son prefers learning from you :) And he really became very good with your videos and scratch. Thank you for your valuable work.
Riteshshivhare156 (Parent)
My son just LOVES this SO MUCH!!!!!!
Calogiga (Parent)
So many many many thanks for sharing your knowledge... Now, as a father, I have a mission to simplify all of this to explain this clearly to my daughter (12 years old) : she's coding and playing with me with Scratch. Many many thanks...
gitavianvs (Parent)
My daughter loves your works. She inspired by you to be a game programmer
Stragejason (Parent)
Hi Grif, I’m not sure if you will see this, but I wanted to let you know, my son of 9 years old, screamed with excitement about your new series, your videos have inspired and helped him learn scratch and it just blows our minds. Anyways, William say hello and thank you.
And Teachers Alike!
JohnW (Teacher)
Hey Griffpatch, thanks for everything you've done for the Scratch education community! You helped me understand how platformers (among other things) work, and now as an educator, I use your projects and tutorials to help get my students excited about coding too! I'm also able to use what I learned studying your programs around 9 years ago to help teach my students. Thank you so much - your work is incredible!
Rousagenciapublicitaria4268 (Teacher)
Thank you for teaching me how to make geometry dash since my students wanted to make one
GeekSHO (Coding Teacher)
This is amazing! Griffpatch, please know how incredible your projects are, but also these video contributions to the community. I teach computer programming, and I often use Scratch for many of my students. These tutorials help me teach students some really cool tricks.
DeanYeats (Teacher)
I appreciate the smaller contained tutorials. I teach groups of students and often see them attempt your longer tutorials and quit a few videos in. Recently I've seen them thrilled to show off the car steering and ball physics ones they've completed. Thank you for all your doing. You are bringing smiles to students and teachers faces worldwide by introducing them to the joys of programming.
Taylor (Teacher)
Great tutorials! I am a teacher using them with my students.
Eden (Coding Teacher)
Hi there, I am a teacher and am using your tutorials with my code club I think the pace of the videos is perfect. The pupils and I follow along pausing when needed and rewinding if necessary. The theory at the beginning along with the additional theory throughout the video is why I use your tutorials, it explains what you are doing in a way that the children understand.
kronicali24 (Teacher)
I had taught basic scratch games to my summer school students, they really loved it. I am surprised how far it has come since.
SPHSPHSPH (Coding Teacher)
As a middle school teacher making scratch vids for my 10-13 year old students, it's a pleasure to have high level stuff being made that helps me as a teacher learn how to do things! I feel like there's only 3-5 other people consistently making high level Scratch content for advanced folks. Love it! :D
Pat (Coding Teacher)
I have a student who wants to add robot arms to her robot sprite that rotates like true shoulder and elbow joints (we are studying the human body) how do I help her with this without a whole lot of variables (she is in grade 5 and I am her coding teacher)
Rob (Teacher)
@griffpatch I'm a teacher and I'm loving all of this! I am hoping to introduce it to some of my middle school computer students.
Spartan (Teacher)
Hi Griffpatch, I urgently need help as I am planning a lesson for my students that is happening very soon... Please help!
Questions? We’ve Got You Covered.
🧒My child has never coded. Can they do this?
Yes. The Academy is designed for beginners. If they can use a mouse and keyboard, they can follow along. To build projects students will need to create a free user account on the Scratch Platform. Full instructions are shared within the Academy.
🐱 What is Block-Coding and the Scratch platform?
Block-coding refers to the programming paradigm where users manipulate visual blocks representing code instead of typing textual instructions. Each block corresponds to a specific command or operation, and users connect them together to create sequences of actions. This approach abstracts away the complexities of traditional text-based programming languages, making it easier for beginners to understand and create programs while providing a solid foundation for later progressing onto more complex coding forms. The language is designed to be intuitive and accessible, using colourful blocks that represent different programming constructs like loops, conditionals, and variables.
"Scratch" is a visual programming language and online community developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. Block-coding environments like Scratch are often used in educational settings to teach computational thinking and programming concepts in a fun and interactive way. It allows users, primarily children and beginners, to create interactive stories, games, and animations by dragging and dropping code blocks. The Scratch platform is free and provides for a gentle introduction to programming concepts without requiring users to learn complex syntax, making it popular for educational purposes. Scratch® is a trademark of the Scratch Foundation. Please note that Griffpatch LTD and Griffpatch Academy are not affiliated with or endorsed by Scratch..
🔥What if my child already knows "Scratch"?
Advanced learners thrive too. They push projects further, customise, and take part in Game Jams that challenge even seasoned coders.
💰How much does joining the Academy cost?
We have two options:
✅ Monthly Plan: $25 USD/month – Get full access to all tutorials, brand-new walkthrough courses, exclusive game jams, and our private members-only forum.
✅ Yearly Plan: $250 USD/year – Get 2 months free when you choose the annual option! Enjoy uninterrupted access to everything while saving money.
Both plans offer a complete package to supercharge your child's coding skills. Simply select the option that works best for you!
🛡️Is it safe?
The Academy runs inside a closed, moderated platform. No ads. No strangers. No private chatrooms - everything share is public.
🚀 What makes you different from other online coding teachers?
Although there are many other online coding teachers out there who are excellent, Griffpatch Academy is simply unique.
🔥 Griffpatch - Get mentored and guided by the best known "Scratch coding" teacher out there – Griffpatch - The famed tutor, kids adore! Please note that Scratch® is a trademark of the Scratch Foundation. Although we teach block coding using the Scratch platform, Griffpatch LTD and Griffpatch Academy are not affiliated with or endorsed by Scratch.
🔥 Apprenticeship Learning - Some programs teach children how to block code through hacking already pre-created Scratch game. Instead, we teach children how to build a game from scratch! Using this apprentice-style, build like "LEGO" hands-on approach, we take students through important coding principles along the way where they can explore principles in game development and how to turn their creative ideas into reality!
🔥 Targeted - We only teach block coding in our Academy, and we go deep. This is because for young children, the block coding language is instantly approachable and yet is a true computing language, very capable for creating powerful & fun games. We won't be teaching Python or JavaScript here, but the core principles are the same & are fully transferable. Our Academy provides a robust foundation, strong enough to inspire a younger generation of coders to persevere with mastery, help them imagine, problem solve and create no matter what life later throws at them.
🔥 Learn Together - Although it's possible for students to learn at their own pace, we've also created learning experiences where students are led through the game creation process step by step, together. We believe that a rising tide elevates all ships, and for some students, taking action is easier when you know everybody else is doing the same.
🎓How will I access Academy lessons and material?
This Academy is online! This mean that you'll be able to access lessons and material 24-7, no matter what your time zone or schedule is like.
To access content you'll have your very own login to our Griffpatch Academy Platform where you'll find all your resources and video tutorials neatly laid out.
👩👧👧I'd like to register multiple children. Is this possible?
Only if you register them individually. If you’d like to enroll multiple children, you’ll need to complete the sign-up process separately for each child using a different email address. If you’re using the same web browser, simply log out of the Academy Hub (using the button at the top right), and then select the 'Sign Up' option on the login screen to register the next child. This is because each child must have their own account which will showcase their individual achievements and forum profile.
⌨️Will you be teaching other programming languages in this Academy like Python?
This is something we hope we will grow into! But at first, our intention is to launch with block coding within Scratch. If you are worrying about whether Scratch coding is a good foundation for learning other languages, then fear not - It's amazing! And Scratch truly is a full programming language that we can use to learn about real life coding challenges.
However, once we've been able to build out the Scratch course experiences we've got planned, we'd love the chance to create BRAND NEW content and teach on other languages, so watch this space!
🌍 Will you be supporting non-English world languages?
This is something we hope to do in time... but to begin with, everything we do will be taught in English.
🧒 Who is this Academy for?
Perfect for:
Young Coding Enthusiasts...
Gifted Children...
Homeschooled Children...
Teachers & Educators...
Adult learners who want to game and code!
This Academy is for anybody who wants to learn how to build their own games in Scratch. We specialise in teaching young children with an apprentice-style methodology where you learn by doing. Because we love to make things easy and fun, we find kids of all ages like to join in - whether you are only 7 years old, or approaching 99 - if you would like to learn how to code, this is for you!
We're designing this Academy to suit a range of experiences - from those taking their first steps with Scratch to those who are already very experienced and want to develop their expertise.
However, we do require children under 16 years old to ask their caring grown-up to register on their behalf since keeping everybody safe online is extremely important to us.
⛔ Who is this Academy not for?
This Academy is not for those who want 1-2-1 mentorship outside of a group setting or those who specifically want LIVE calls.
Sadly, Griffpatch is only one person so it's just not possible for him to hop on 1-2-1 calls with individuals, although through our forum, students can have direct access to Griffpatch who loves to comment and engage and where Griffpatch is active every day!
▶️ How is this Academy different from watching Griffpatch on YouTube?
Our Academy is a completely different experience from watching Griffpatch on YouTube.
Here's why:
🔥 Access will be within a safe walled garden with no need for young kids to access their Parents YouTube account or with the worry of what they'll watch or who they'll meet.
🔥 Because we are off YouTube, there will be no ad breaks or distractions, and content will be accessible to those where YouTube is restricted
🔥 A carefully crafted curriculum and structured course walkthrough so students of all abilities can make progress and create in some of the best loved game genres of our day!
🔥 Q&A tutorial videos with Griffpatch giving feedback, answering popular questions and helping debug projects where possible - in never seen before videos/trainings. Please note that we don't plan on hosting LIVE sessions as we want to ensure we keep our younger members safe and respect all the different time zones we are serving.
🔥 Access to additional content from extra episodes on much loved series, expert modules, latest bug fixes and updates, plus creative insights in how students can make the project their own and take things to the next level.
🔥 Helpful resources such as PDFs, scripts, Workbooks, downloadable Game Graphics etc. We hope this might help teachers and home-schooling parents, as well as provide supplementary material that our coders can refer to when they are away from the screen.

This is THE school we deserve
I just joined! :D I love how it is really easy to join!
This is a dream come true!!
I'm so happy that you'll be opening an academy for beginning and vetran coders! I'm so excited to see how awesome this will make people's coding experiences. The whole reason I can program Scratch games like I do now is because of you, griffpatch. And you giving the same opportunities to people in a much better, easier-to-learn-in environment makes me even more excited! Great job, griffpatch, and thank you for your tutorials, devlogs, and now, this academy.
I am nine years old. And I love your channel!I found your channel when I was 7 years old. Since then, I have been coding in scratch. I have made many projects including:Custom 3D Raycasting, RPG with my own custom sprites, A plane shooter game, 2D classic platformer and much more including a few unfinished ones which are still under work. I can't wait to finish them with you and the entire Griffpatch community together!
This is Probably Going to be the Best Way im going to learn how to Scratch Even Better, Cuz i'm still learning scratch but i can find the right videos to help me get started ,some videos show the basis that i know and some videos show the more advanced thing i don't know so . since im still 11 ill try to get my parents to sign up and register on behalf of me
i can't wait to be part of the academy; this sounds epic!
Others: Who is your favourite teacher?
Me: Griffpatch!
This is so exciting!! Can’t wait to join
i had 5 online teachers who taught me game design, yet i found griffpatch and i learned more stuff from his videos more than all of my old teachers combined i love ur videos! :D
Im so exited about this! I love your content, and I've always been hoping for more without just asking for it, and we're all finally getting that! I just have to say thank you griffpatch, without you inspiring thousands of people, alot of us wouldnt be where we are today! (i immediately sighned up, and am very happy to be a founding member :D)
