 * SCRATCH** – a programming language developed my M.I.T. to create interactive stories, games, music and art - and share it online.

ALICE - an innovative 3D programming environment developed at Carnegie Mellon that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web.


 * PICO CRICKETS ** – (developed by M.I.T.) are tiny computers you can use to create musical sculptures, interactive jewelry, dancing creatures, and other playful inventions to use in your stories.

MULTIMEDIA TOOLS ** – digital cameras, Flip Video cameras, sound recorders, combined with movie making and slide show software can make your hero’s story come to life. ur MUSIC MAKING – compose or remix music to create your hero’s theme song, write your own song or ballad, all with the help of this year’s guest musician.
