Roz WestonHOST
First of all, he's got the coolest name.
Roz WestonHOST
Uh, it's Rob "Scratch" Mitchell, right?
Damnit MauriePANELIST
Oh.
Roz WestonHOST
Oh.
Roz WestonHOST
Yeah.
Roz WestonHOST
Thank you.
Roz WestonHOST
It's like Scratch is his, like, uh, his, like, pilot name, right? So he was a CF-18 fighter pilot, and then he was the leader of the Snowbirds for a while, and then he transferred i- like, into show business.
Damnit MauriePANELIST
Okay.
Hi-CGUEST
it.
Hi-CGUEST
Later on, man, when I really knew that shit was really, like, dope, when I saw, I think it was DJ Scratch, right? When we was out of town, DJ Scratch heard one of his tapes and was like, what? Because you know Scratch.
Hi-CGUEST
Scratch is a fucking killer.
Hi-CGUEST
He an assassin on the turntables.
Hi-CGUEST
And Scratch
speaker_6PANELIST
was like, man, how the fuck did you?
Hi-CGUEST
Yeah.
14 MINS LATER
Hi-CGUEST
I'm going to take you back a little bit.
Low LevelHOST
It's on eBay.
Low LevelHOST
It's on Scratch, like the programming website.
Low LevelHOST
Right.
Low LevelHOST
For like drag and drop programming.
FelienneHOST
And in Hedy, we assume that you are teaching, right? That you are a teacher and that you're explaining to kids how programming works.
FelienneHOST
Whereas their other programming language is one that is very famous is called Scratch, which is also a programming language for kids.
FelienneHOST
But the idea of Scratch is that kids are exploring programming by themselves, either in the classroom or at home.
FelienneHOST
And even before you start programming, and you don't always really know this, I think, as a teacher, Scratch makes certain assumptions about what is going to happen that indeed precedes the use of things.
FelienneHOST
So Scratch doesn't have a built-in explanation.
FelienneHOST
It doesn't say, oh, this is what programming is for.
FelienneHOST
You just open it and then you can start programming, like, of course, is in many IDEs for grown-ups the same case, whereas our system assumes that you don't know what you're doing.
Deborah FieldsGUEST
Maybe some listeners might remember Micro Worlds back in the day.
Deborah FieldsGUEST
More people might be familiar with Scratch, but Micro Worlds was kind of the ancestor or the [laughs] grandfather of Scratch, so to speak.
Deborah FieldsGUEST
So went to that workshop, and the foundation had helped her school have a small computer lab.
Deborah FieldsGUEST
It would be about 45 students in a class.
Michael AjetoHOST
I guess so.
Alex FarronHOST
But Dom's been Scratch as an outfielder this year, so, you know, fine.
Alex FarronHOST
Just have him stand out there.
Alex FarronHOST
There's not a lot of ground cover.
Ben MallerHOST
All right.
Ben MallerHOST
Let's go with Scratch.
Ben MallerHOST
Scratch.
Ben MallerHOST
Chicken.
LorenaPANELIST
Let's go with...
Ben MallerHOST
The word was scrape.
Ben MallerHOST
Scrape.
Ben MallerHOST
Scratch.
Kinara KindiGUEST
Sin embargo, después de que ya, eh, tuvimos estos talleres, después de que ellos mismos construían circuitos básicos, de-- aprendían cómo funcionaba la luz e incluso quemaron algunos componentes.
Kinara KindiGUEST
Después de programar videojuegos con Scratch, con Blocky Code, pues ellos fueron perdiendo ese miedo y era, eh, muy motivador, em, el hecho de que después ellos en sus casas iban y ellos mismos, bajo su propia autonomía, diseñaba imágenes audiovisuales, ellos mismo, eh, desarmaban sus juguetes o llegaban al día siguiente y nos decían: "¿Cómo funciona esto?" O dañaban algo y, y llegaban y decían: "Necesito que me ayude a arreglar esto".
Kinara KindiGUEST
O incluso había el caso de un niño que, pues, eh, solamente necesitó un poco de teoría para construir su propio carrito eléctrico, lo cual, eh, a nosotros nos motiva mucho a seguir trabajando, a seguir incentivando a la curiosidad de estos niños y jóvenes y que ellos mismos puedan imaginar un mundo con nuevas posibilidades, que no se quede solo como imaginación, sino que lo puedan imaginar, lo puedan crear y lo puedan programar.
Kinara KindiGUEST
Ahora, nuestros objetivos a largo plazo es continuar realizando estos, estos talleres.
Tasha StoutGUEST
There's RZA, one of my favorites.
Tasha StoutGUEST
RZA and DJ Scratch.
Tasha StoutGUEST
Who else?
RobHOST
Drama?

Tasha StoutGUEST
You
GladHOST
said you like working with, was it RZA you said?
Tasha StoutGUEST
RZA and Scratch, yep.
Tasha StoutGUEST
I mean, there's a few that I love working with.
