In this video Jay and Eric are giving a demo of Scratch showing us great examples of what the possibilities are of this programming language for children. For all those interested in education, children and IT a must see.

I already wrote about it. I did some videoing during the first day. I saw a workshop in which people experimented with making instruments. And a laughing-meditation. In this video Jay Silver (one of the workshopfacilitators; his blog) is telling us what the workshop of this instruments is all about and what the aim is of this workshop. In the next blogposting I will show you an impression of the day with people experimenting with their instruments and circuits, and you will see the laughing-meditation. http://www.jouwnieuws.nl/ Fri, 09 Jan 2009 05:56:54 +0100 http://www.jouwnieuws.nl/MIT_students_at_HAN_University_%285%29%3A_scratch_and_sensorboards_video.html In this video Eric Rosenbaum is telling us what scratch is about.

In this workshop the participants get an idea in what way projects are done at MIT. In this episode you can see the laughing meditation, done by Jody Finch. It was great to see what laughing can do with people. And as Jody said, you can connect with someone who is laughing. Great experience this workshop.

With the picocricket kits prototyping is fun and instantly rewarding. And with logochip microcontrollers, RFID readers and Scratch or Flash one can create autonomous, intelligent and spatially aware inventions. In this workshop we get an introduction both in picocrickets and logochip and we see the participants working with the kits.Photos are over here.
