San Diego – About 100 Next Generation Programmers gathered at ServiceNow in San Diego to learn to program in Scratch and raised $1,111 to “Scratch out Poverty”!

FUTURE PROGRAMMERS AT SERVICENOW

Funds raised benefitted the following causes:

• Shelter – Casa Hogar de los Ninos – build a roof for the kids at this orphanage
• Food – Feeding America San Diego – striving to end child hunger in San Diego
• Water – Charity:Water – providing clean water for kids to go to school worldwide

The project we developed mirrored the fund raising and well drilling that helps bring clean water to those that do not have access.

Here are a few of the apps that the students created: http://scratch.mit.edu/studios/298973/
