ScratchEd Meetups Go Global

The new school year is underway, and ScratchEd meetups are kicking into gear as well!

What are ScratchEd meetups? Participatory professional learning experiences for teachers who want to learn more about teaching with Scratch. They include time for networking and scheduling, exploring and learning, and sharing and reflecting.

Some cities, including New York, Boston, and Lexington, Kentucky, have hosted meetups already this month, and others have upcoming events on the schedule. Scratch educator meetups are expanding overseas as well, with Moscow holding its first event over the summer http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/stories/moscow-school-1329-hosts-first-scratched-meetup and Amsterdam preparing to host its second event this week.
