ScratchJr: Coding for Young(er) Kids

Project: ScratchJr: Coding for Young Kids Creator : Mitchel Resnick at Lifelong Kindergarten at MIT Description : Coding for kids is all the rage these days -- seems like you can't go through Kickstarter pages without running into at least one of these every week (here's one of my favorites ). But it's also true that the Lifelong Kindergarten lab at MIT has been interested in the subject for a long time, most visibly in the creation of Scratch , a web-based programming interface for kids ages 8 and up. Now, with ScratchJr, they hope to expand that work down to kids ages 5 through 7. The website is free, so rewards are for ancillary items such as t-shirts, stickers, and seminars. But if ScratchJr is as cool as its elder sibling, it's worth pitching in.
