What I like to say is that we're trying to develop a new generation of technologies that are worthy of the next generation of kids.

From Mitchel Resnick

With 'Scratch,' we want to let kids to be the creators. We want them to create interesting, dynamic things on the computer.

From Mitchel Resnick

With 'Scratch,' our goal is to allow people to mix together all kinds of media, not just sounds, in creative ways. We want people to start from existing materials - grabbing an image, grabbing some sound, maybe even bits of someone else's program, and then extending them and mixing them to make them their own.

From Mitchel Resnick

When you learn to code, it opens up for you to learn many other things.

From Mitchel Resnick

In my office, I have the creative things that kids have made for me over the years. The nice thing about the physical side of life is that I can have them on my shelf.

From Mitchel Resnick

Working as a correspondent for 'Business Week,' I felt that I was simply informing people, not empowering them. I saw a parallel problem in the world of education. In too many educational settings, teachers simply 'inform' or 'instruct' learners, rather than providing learners with opportunities to explore, experiment, and express themselves.

From Mitchel Resnick

I'm pretty skeptical about a lot of the toys on the market, especially for young kids. Most of them just add these new technologies just to make more flashing lights.

From Mitchel Resnick

Computer programming has been traditionally seen as something that is beyond most people - it's only for a special group with technical expertise and experience. We have developed 'Scratch' as a new type of programming language, which is much more accessible.
