Hi again:
I was writing a brief report of my experience with scratch in the last 8 weeks, culminating in two intensive S4A´s sessions . The full report, with a better quality video.

Thanks so much for posting this, Patricio!
Hello, my name is Patricio and I work in the primary Florence Nightingale, in Chile. This week we were experimenting with arduino and RGB LED. We use as a programming tool Scratch for Arduino, S4A. This assembly is very simple, we use only 3 resistors and an LED. To give an artistic touch, put a origami´s flower on the LED.
