HOW WE WORK
PEER MENTORING
In our after-school electives and summer camps, we work to build powerful ″learning communities″ in which each student is both a learner and a teacher. Students work collaboratively, and use an LCD projector to demo their projects. More experienced students serve as mentors to newer students. Our students experience the joy of creative work, receiving one-on-one support, and teaching others.
HARD FUN
Myers Learning electives, summer camps, and workshops are often described by our students as ″hard fun.″ Our programs inspire students to learn Scratch and to develop Scratch projects at school and at home. Students share projects with parents, teachers, siblings, and friends, and they share their projects on the web with students throughout the world -- through a Scratch website developed and moderated by MIT.
