While early object-oriented programming environments such as Smalltalk were originally intended for children, the reality of programming never quite lived up to the simplicity of the LEGO model. That has all changed now with Scratch, a project developed by Mitchel Resnick and his associates at MIT's Lifelong Kindergarten research group.
