 Since MIT�s Lifelong Kindergarten group released Scratch in 2007, kids ages 8 to 13 have built more than 2.2 million animations, games, music, videos and stories using the kid-friendly programming language. Now with a grant from the National Foundation of Science, Lifelong Kindergarten is collaborating with Tufts University�s DevTech Research Group to make Scratch Jr, a new version aimed at kids in preschool to second grade.
