There are lots of great science museum resources, but not where these kids can walk after school. The core program is a permanent, dedicated physical space, full of interactive hands-on physical exhibits, as well as a tinkering and making space, and recycled materials. We received two rounds of NSF funding in the 1990s to expand.

What happens to the surprises designers encountered, the interactive that visitors loved, the bits that never seemed to work quite right?

I first saw Scratch a few years ago, when I had friends working at the Media Lab, and at the time it seemed like a neat way for kids who were unfamiliar with programming to jump in and start designing their own interactive stories and games. It was a serious improvement on tools like Logo Turtle and Hypercard that I grew up with.
