Scratch Meetup @ MIT

Today I attended a meeting at MIT’s Media Lab to meet people who use Scratch (a visual programming environment that does similar things to Flash). I got the great opportunity to talk with the makers of Scratch (Including a developer of the Scratch Website, see the video) and learn from other “Scratchers”.

I have a video below of the event. As I said, I interviewed a developer of the Scratch site, which allows users to post up their project for others to use and comment on. The video also interviews some kids who have been using Scratch.

The whole experience was very enjoyable and for those of you who have not tried Scratch yet, I would highly recommend for you to check it out.

  3. Thanks so much for telling me about this! I was all set to go but realized the train schedule was not on the time frame of the Meet-up. I was so bummed out but by watching this vid I feel like I was not totally left out of the loop.
