Scratch is a simple environment designed by the Kindergarden Lifelong Learning Group at MIT.
In Scratch, sprites (objects) are manipulated on the stage (background) using various scripts (small program segments). Each sprite has its own set of scripts to control its behaviors and how it interacts with other sprites and events.
In this 1-hour workshop learn the basics of using Scratch. "Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web. As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively."

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. Introduction to Scratch
Scratch is a programming website created by M.I.T. It
shows a bunch of sprites (the characters/actors of the
program) on a background (the setting of the program). The
characters can be moved using the programming blocks.
There are plenty of blocks including motion, sound and
control blocks. These blocks help the sprites come to life on
the background and help create the program/code.
https://scratch.mit.edu/
SCRATCH is a programming language that lets
you create your own interactive stories,
animations, games, music, and art.
5. 1. Start Moving To Cat
Drag a MOVE block into the Scripts area.
6. 2. Add a Sound
Drag out a PLAY DRUM and snap it onto the MOVE block.
7. 3. Start a Dance
Add another MOVE block. Click inside the
block and type in a minus sign.
Click on any of the blocks to run the stack.
Add another PLAY DRUM block, then choose a
drum from the menu. Click to run.
8. 4. Again and Again
Drag out a REPEAT block and drop it on top of the stack. You want the mouth of the REPEAT to
wrap around the other blocks.
To drag a stack, pick it up from the top block.
19. Sprites (Characters)
Sprites are the main part of the program. They are the
characters or actors on the screen. The most basic sprite is
an orange and white cat. But there are plenty of others, too.
There are the animal, people and cartoon sprites that do all
the moving. There are also musical instruments, balls, food,
clothes and letter sprites that shouldn’t move. Sprites can be
anywhere on the screen and the moving sprites can move to
wherever they have to be using motion blocks. If you don’t
find the sprite you want, you can draw it on the bottom
right corner. There can be multiple sprites on the screen at
one time.
https://scratch.mit.edu/
20. Backgrounds (Settings)
Backgrounds are in the background of the screen. They are
the setting of the scene. Backgrounds can be colorful, dull,
spooky, fun etc. The sprites are on the background. Unlike
sprites, there can only be one background on the screen at
one time. There are plenty of backgrounds from beaches to
witch houses. When choosing a sprite to go with the
background, the sprite should fit in with the background.
For example, a butterfly would look better on a background
with flowers rather than a background of a baseball
stadium. If you don’t find the background you want, you
can also draw it on the bottom right corner. Backgrounds
help the viewer understand where the scene is taking place.
21. Motion Blocks!
These blocks move your sprite! Every motion you’ll need you will find
here. (unless it doesn’t exist)
https://scratch.mit.edu/
22. Look Blocks!
These blocks are where you can make your sprite talk! You can also change
their appearance.
https://scratch.mit.edu/
23. Sound Blocks!
As redundant as this is, these blocks make sound! Like instruments for
example.
These are
already filled
in, but you can
do that on your
own later!
https://scratch.mit.edu/
24. Event Blocks!
Event blocks can only work at the start of your code, they are the reason the code
will go. They indicate the start and when your sprite should listen to your code.
https://scratch.mit.edu/
25. Control Blocks!
These blocks are where you can find your if then statements and your loops. These may
not be the only reason your sprite does things but they are still a large part of the reason.
https://scratch.mit.edu/
26. Sensing blocks!
● Senses colors or if its touching
an edge or mouse pointer
● Ask and wait for an answer
● Set date, answer, timer and
username https://scratch.mit.edu/
27. Operating blocks!
● Blocks that include computing
of integers or other variables,
absolute value and modules.
● Random number
● Booleans
● Find a value of a list
https://scratch.mit.edu/
28. Variable blocks!
● Make, set, change, show and
hide a variable.
● Make a list https://scratch.mit.edu/
