Age: 11-13, 10-14Number of volunteers: 2Number of clredihn: 7, 12This was a fun activity to do with the clredihn. It works both as an introductory activity to the ScratchTM program and as an introductory activity to help the clredihn get to know each other (eg. from Suzie's program we know she likes squirrels). It is interesting to see what they chose to represent themsevles, we had one guy use cheesies because he really likes cheesies. It went fairly well when we gave them a list of criteria that they had to include, just enough to challenge them but not enough to frustrate them (eg. avoid having a criterion that is not something that you explained how to do in your demonstration of ScratchTM). This activity was great as an introductory activity in that it taught students some fairly basic skills so that when we moved on to more complex programming it was easier for them to grasp.
