What a pleasure to playtest and develop this prototype together with @LLKgroup. Creating a collaborative story by adding hand-crafted sprites to this landscape had us deeply engaged in coding and making for hours. #ComputationalTinkering #STEAM #Coding #Tinkering #Scratch

Black lives matter. We stand with Black youth, our colleagues, fellow educators, educational organizations, and families. Breaking down centuries of structural racism and injustice requires understanding, commitment, and action from all of us.

Congrats to LLK graduate student Marian Muthui!
Congratulations to Marian Muthui for handing in her master's thesis today! Our Lifelong Kindergarten group couldn't do an in-person parade for her, so we created a virtual parade in @Scratch! scratch.mit.edu/projects/396…
