Scratch Club Kids, pilot project launched by ITJ`s Kindergarden
In Kinder, we have formed a group of students to p a pilot project with Scratch, an animation program developed by MIT, Massachussetts Institute of Technology. It`s hard to believe, but 4 and 5 year old students are programming. They create and face the challenges Scratch provides. Step by step, this program inspires new ways of possible solutions. Through trial and error, they learn the commands, it may be difficult for them to read but they identify each tool function by their shapes and colors. Our students want to tell, express and share what they imagine. Since the beginning, our expectations were exceeded. It is great to see how our kids control the tools and discover within a whole thinking system that this programming language offers.

Hi
Thanks , I'm waiting for this project
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your video. Do you have a website that explains more about your pilot program?
Hi Susan,
I found this on their website -- http://itjqro.edu.mx/general/scratch-kids/
Hope that helps!

Yes, that's the only information we have published so far... the project is still on it's early stages... hope we have more to share soon!
Thank you for sharing the video. I think it was especially great to hear the students talk about their work and explain their thinking. I would be interested to see the water project that the students made. Is it on the Scratch website or could it perhaps be uploaded here with the story?
I absolutely love the picture!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the picture. The water project is still under construction, but I will upload it here as soon as it's finished.
