    Scratch Day - Fundação Bradesco

I work for Bradesco Foundation in the area of Education Technology. Some of my projects were the Intel Teach Program, the Intel Learn Program and the creation and support to Digital Inclusion Centers all over Brazil [we have 107 of them]. The centers are spaces specially created for underserved communities, aiming to improve access to technology, promote digital inclusion and motivate community and corporate involvement. One of the activities of the Education Technology area is the diffusion of tools to be used in the classroom. In such context, we have been working with scratch since 2006; in 2008 we had a workshop on scratch conducted by Mitchel Resnick within the realm of a partnership with MIT.
