How are you supporting the development of problem solving skills, creativity, and computational thinking skills in your school today? Scratch software (scratch.mit.edu) is free software from MIT which can be used by students and teachers to create animations, games, simulations, music, art, stories, and more. In this session we'll explore Scratch software, watch and learn from some exemplary student projects, and discuss how you can get started using Scratch with students today.
