Presenting at Ohio Linux Fest 2009

by Michael Badger on August 3, 2009

Ohio Linux Fest

I will be in Columbus on September 25 and 26 for the Ohio Linux Fest celebrating 40 years of Unix, and best of all, I got confirmation that my talk Programming for the Young and the Young at Heart has been accepted.

Find out more about this great event at ohiolinux.org.

Presentation Summary

Learn why Scratch makes an ideal language to teach your children (8 and up), your students, or yourself the basics of programming by creating games, interactive stories, and multimedia projects. Scratch uses a fun, accessible environment that’s as easy as dragging and dropping blocks.

We’ll create a sample project that demonstrates the “basics” of Scratch. We’ll also connect a webcam and a sensory board to use real-world input for our project.

See you there.
