Are you interested in learning computer programming, or even just the fundamental principles of how computers “think?”
This interactive workshop will show you the 'building blocks' of programming using the drag-and-drop programming environment from MIT, “SCRATCH.” Work with images, music, animation, and other data to create fun and interactive programs that you can share and re-mix! The Saturday workshop will be followed by several "open lab" opportunities and conclude with a "viewing party" on April 25th to allow participants to share and discuss their projects and experiences.
