Instead to teaching summer school this year, I decided to lead some Fun Camps. This week is Jr. Programming. I have four very enthusiastic boys working with Scratch. The first time I saw Scratch and moved the little cat around I wasn't too impressed. Then I saw a program that someone had done that played "Frere Jacques" in a four-part round. This was so different from moving a cat that I had to give Scratch a second look.
It is easy to get started, but can get difficult and complicated quickly. We are working on a MiniMario game from ScratchED.
