Heard of Scratch?

Post by GeoTrail »

Scratch is a new programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web.

Scratch is designed to help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century learning skills. As they create Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also gaining a deeper understanding of the process of design.

Scratch is available free of charge from the Download page.

I did see that on the news. The examples of Scratch programs they showed weren't that inspiring, but I can see a lot of promise in this idea!

Have to take a look. If it will get my kids interested, it might not be a bad idea.

Heard of it! Sounds good.

Has anyone heard of Hackety Hack?

The ideas seems similar, the difference is, that HH is Ruby-Based.
