This is a video all about our Scratch workshop. We facilitated a workshop for 10 weeks sponsored by Citizen Schools. The sessions were held in a public school with about ten 13-year-olds. We hope you can get an idea or two from this and learn from any mistakes we made.

holding hands, or touching "E.T." fingers. Your
entire body becomes a musical instrument!
