Hastening The End Of Civilization As We Know It

The robotics revolution needs you!  I need not tell you that the future of humanity is at stake.  Only you can light fires and inspire kids to not just be consumers, but creators, who understand and change the world around them. 

 

This session will be a "lightning workshop" where we'll dive deep into teaching kids how to program using Scratch (on the computer) and Enchanting (with LEGO robots) by giving you the opportunity to experience it for yourself -- with an expert who has your back, ready to quell any uprisings.  We'll have a dozen computers and robots ready for you to enchant.  If possible, bring a computer with a Flash-enabled web-browser so that you can also create, imagine, and share with Scratch.  (Too long? Why not attend my 10-minute presentation, 'The Surface Of Scratch').
