Hi everyone,

As you may know, the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab has been working on a new generation of Scratch, which we call Scratch 2.0. (You can see a preview of Scratch 2.0 in this video.)

If you'd like to help us test Scratch 2.0, please leave a comment here, with a link to your Scratch website profile. (For example, I would add a comment with a link to http://scratch.mit.edu/users/karenb)

When we're ready for more testers (most likely in a few weeks), we'll send you an invitation via email, with an explanation of how to access the Scratch 2.0 site.

Thank you so much for your help...

Sincerely,
Karen

***THIS TOPIC IS NOW LOCKED***

Thanks to everyone who responded. I've sent the list of Scratch usernames on to those who manage 2.0 access -- I'll post here again when I've sent out the emails explaining how to access the site. (This should be sometime next week.)

If I can be of service I would be interested in testing Scratch 2.0. I'm currently working with middle school students who have started their own Scratch Club as well as math teachers interested in integrating Scratch into their curriculum.

My Scratch handle is: http://scratch.mit.edu/users/WestBendEast

Thanks,
Chris

Also here is a blog post on my comments on using the new Scratch curricullum guide

And a video on using Etoys and Scratch so kids could build their own game controllers (or in this case a dance controller):

I'm just getting started with Scratch for a K-5 program and would be very interested in testing 2.0 with the students in our program.  We just started building our curriculum and Scratch is wonderful.
