Scratch Research:
"is a new programmable toolkit that enables kids to create their own games, animated stories, and interactive art -- and share their creations with one another over the Net.
Scratch is designed especially for youth at Computer Clubhouses, an international network of after-school centers in low-income communities. The Scratch project aims to create a programming culture at Computer Clubhouses, empowering youth (ages 10-16) to express themselves fluently and creatively with new technologies.
Scratch will be available for public release in Summer 2006."
Bob Courchaine:
"Both Scratch and StarLogo TNG share a common heritage with LogoBlocks, a tool to create programs for Crickets. The two tools are written from entirely separate code, but we do share ideas. The audiences are different for the two products as well. Scratch is primarily designed as a tool to make computational multimedia projects for kids, targeted at Computer Clubhouses. StarLogo TNG is designed for more formal education environments such as introductory programming classes, or subjects (such as biology, chemistry, physics, etc.) where modeling is an important
part of the curriculum. They're both interesting tools, and you should check out Scratch when it becomes available."
Scratch is built on Squeak an is based on the ideas of Squeak's etoys.
