BBC news on MIT’s coding tool for kids offers ‘easy’ coding
I love the programming stuff like Squeak, and now Scratch, which clearly follows another MIT conceptual innovationSeymour Papert’s Constructionist concepts (massive summarisation: learning by making stuff).
A lovely quote from the story:
“A program doesn’t congratulate you for the 90% that you got right. It fails for the 10% you got wrong”
And it’ s nice to see Gene Wilder finally in his rightful place, with a professorship at MIT :-)
