Keynote: Mitchel Resnick (Massachusetts
Institute of Technology,
Medialab)
(Chair:
Tilde Bekker,
Eindhoven University of
Technology)
Mitchel Resnick explores how new technologies can
help people (especially children) learn new things
in new ways. His Lifelong Kindergarten research
group at the MIT Media Lab has developed a variety
of educational tools, including the "programmable
bricks" that were the basis for the award-winning
LEGO MindStorms robotics construction kit. Resnick's
group recently developed a new programming language,
"Scratch," which makes it easier for kids to create
their own animated stories, video games, and
interactive art. |
