“To [Seymour] Papert, the strength
of the computer lies in none of
these categories. It is a material to
be ‘messed about with.’ The act
of messing about, which we
might call tinkering, is where the
learning happens. The computer
provides a flexible material that
the child can weave into their own
ideas and master for their own
purposes.”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/fryer-classroom20-dec13b-131213001226-phpapp02/75/Coding-Games-with-Kids-Hopscotch-Scratch-Minecraft-Dec-2013-7-2048.jpg)
