From 10 AM to 2 PM, kids of all ages joined in with the global “Scratch Day” to learn more about MIT’s Scratch programming language. Events included:

  • An introduction for all “Scratchers” to the new Scratch 2.0 web-based (SaaS) IDE and online safety3 afternoon sessions to choose from including
    • advanced gaming where students built an air-hockey game
    • an animation studio
    • a “Hack-a-thon” where all participants showed off their projects and all got cool shirts

Check out the projects these kids made in only 1 hour!
