# Scratch Experience Every software developer worth their salt can say they're proficient in Scratch, but very few can say that they've made an award winning Scratch project. In 6th grade, [my Scratch project](https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/144210368/) won 3rd place in the The Discovery's 2017 Scratch Code Challenge, hosted by the [Terry Lee Wells Discovery Museum](https://nvdm.org) in Reno, Nevada. To my memory, the competition was separated by grade level, and had ~1,000 international participants. ![Scratch Winner Image 1](images/scratch_winner1.jpg#256x192) ![Scratch Winner Image 2](images/scratch_winner2.jpg#256x192) - And yes, I do have the medal and the Windows 10 Pro license to prove it ![Medal](images/scratch_medal.jpg#231x512)
