The motto for Scratch is imagine • program • share. With these three things in mind I have made a start to setting up our Scratch environment for 2011. Some of the ideas from last year will be used again. Along with some exciting new developments. Like Integrating the Lego WeDo with Scratch. I have started doing this at Coatesville School and will continue to develop these ideas. I’m hoping to get some volunteers from Coatesville to take part again this year sharing their WeDo projects.

Some other interesting project to share will be:

· Taking part in the World Museum 2011 Project hosted by Yoshiro Miyata http://day.scratch.mit.edu/event/358

· Take a look at a Scratch project using the XBox 360 Kinect controller! http://vimeo.com/18562642

· Take part in our own collaborative projects; Traditional Stories (Room11FHS)


If you would like to be part of our Scratch Day 2011 please let me know:
