Children as young as 9 are learning how to program in a computer class at the Madison Children?s Museum. The class, which was designed for students ages nine to 13, uses the Scratch software developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab. Through the software program, children can create their own interactive stories, games, music and animation. Three UW-Madison students have been working with the dozen younger students in the class as part of a service-learning course.
