Mission statement: 
Engaging people in creative learning experiences.

We are developing new technologies and activities that engage young people in creative learning experiences. For example, millions of young people around the world are using our Scratch programming language and online community to express themselves creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. We try out our ideas and technologies in classrooms, museums, community centers, and online communities, aiming to broaden participation in creative learning activities.

What We're Looking For: 

Students with playful/creative minds; experience in developing new technologies; interest in studying how people learn; and a deep commitment to improving the lives of children.
