http://scratch.mit.edu/ Scratch is a programming environment for beginners, where kids can use a simple programming syntax to create their own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art, and share their creations on the web. Scratch is designed to help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century learning skills. As they create and share Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. Scratch is simply FUN, and it's easy for kids to create so many different kinds of programs or games. It's like Lego for programming! Scratch from Karen Brennan on Vimeo. |
