Mitchel Resnick gave a talk at GooGle about Educating Kids.

kids need practice developing DeSign thinking (Iterat Ive DAndD)
Lego Mind Storms initiatives tend to be mostly boys (even after big attempts at attracting girls, they only end up being 30%). His theory is that the projects tend to end with ZeroSum robot competitions, which turns girls (WomEn) off. Which led to Pico Cricket.
- he showed a few Pico Cricket creations. One problem with these kits (like with LeGo) is that you can only have 1 instantiation at a time. So you build 1 thing, and then you're either done, or you have to take it apart to build something else. (Or you spend another $250.)
ScrAtch is an attempt to encourage the same kind of experimentation, but in pure software/media.
