Scratch@MIT 2018

The Scratch Team at the meeting.

The sixth Scratch@MIT Conference took place from July 26-28th, 2018 at MIT. The theme was "The Next Generation".

The conference is aimed at educators, researchers, developers, and other members of the worldwide Scratch community. The conference is also intended for adults who support young people learning Scratch.

“	We continue to be amazed and delighted by all of the ways that children around the world are creating and collaborating with Scratch. As we see the outpouring of creativity in the Scratch community, we become even more committed to developing a next generation of Scratch that is truly worthy of the next generation of children.	”
– Mitchel Resnick
