Play to Learn - A Creative Approach to Learning App Development

Using pioneering software from the MIT Media Lab it is now possible for students of all ages to learn programming in a fun and easy environment. This workshop -- with renowned computer scientist, inventor and artist John Henry Thompson -- will begin with an introduction to Scratch, which allows users to create and share interactive stories, games, music, and art. Students will also be introduced to other tools for learning and exploring creative programming.
