Scratch Fireside Chat

Come join us for an interactive discussion with the Scratch Foundation as they share their work developing the new Scratch Education Collaborative (SEC). Scratch is used around the world and was created by a team from the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. The SEC is bringing together seven Education Partners: Brazilian Creative Learning Network, Chicago Public Schools, Micro:Bit Foundation, Raspberry Pi Foundation, Stanford d. School, STEM Nola and The Tinkering Studio. They will talk about the philosophy of Scratch and creative computing as captured in the 5-Ps: Projects, Passion, Play, Peers and the newest P, Purpose. The SEC will support the growth and development of creative computing around the world with 41 non-profit and educational institutions.
