OK my SCRATCH Heads, this is a really cool article with video explaining how Scratch programming can be used to program household electronics very simply.  Just click here and then watch the little video, then think about how you could do this at home.  What would you need? Hmmmm?

NEWLY DISCOVERED VIDEO below...This explanation of SCRATCH is crystal clear and will have you up and running in no time.  Also, if you already know a little, it will help you to be a better 'tutor' and support to your friends who are just starting out. AND if you are a curious parent or teacher, you will feel empowered to leap in and try it yourself. We will be doing this lesson in our math class.  I am currently looking forscience connections to use in homeroom.
