"ScratchJr: Coding for Young Kids" on Kickstarter
ScratchJr is a collaboration between the DevTech Research Group at the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development at Tufts University (led by Prof. Marina Umaschi Bers), the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab (led by Prof. Mitch Resnick), and the Playful Invention Company (led by Paula Bonta and Brian Silverman). Marina’s group at Tufts focuses on creating technologies and pedagogical approaches that take into consideration the developmental needs of young children to promote positive development. Mitch's group at the MIT Media Lab develops new technologies and activities that engage people in creative learning experiences. The group developed ideas and technologies underlying the LEGO Mindstorms robotics kits and Scratch programming language, used by millions of young people around the world.
