= About Scratch in the Triangle =

We are a network of people who love Scratch from MIT. From a three-year-old programming from her mother's lap to gray-haired veterans of math, science and technology, we get together to model, design, make math and science our own, and help the next generation of geeklets to join the fun!

**Benefits:**
 * Help bright, interested kids find one another
 * Join the vibrant worldwide open source community: pushing one million shared applets
 * Collaborate with innovative educators in STEM disciplines
 * Pure joy

= Global Scratch Resources =

Scratch is the number one young programmer network in the world. The name Scratch comes from the technique used by hip-hop disc jockeys, who spin vinyl records to mix music clips together in creative ways. Similarly, Scratch lets kids mix together a wide variety of media: graphics, photos, music, and sounds.
