Teen Tech Camp 2009
This years Teen tech Camp focused on Entry Level Computer Programming using Scratch. Scratch is a new programming environment developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten research group at the MIT Media Lab. Campers explored and created new and innovative ways to express their interests using Scratch and other programs. The campers developed and programed games, animations, interactive stories, etc. The camp also had an added twist that campers can continue to come to open Scratch labs here at the library throughout the year and work on existing projects or create new ones that can be viewed in our Scratch Gallery.
