Scratch is a fun, free, easy to use programming tool suitable for students in grades 4 and up. With Scratch, kids can create their own interactive games, stories, simulations, and animation -- or simply enjoy the logical exercise of creating commands and receiving immediate, visual feedback. Workshop participants will program and create with Scratch, explore shared projects on the Scratch web site, and discuss how Scratch can be most effectively used with students.
