It's that time of year when everyone is reflecting back on the experiences they've had the past year and thinking about resolutions for the upcoming year. As teachers, we usually reflect back during the summer months on how the school year went. However, teachers also use the end of a semester as a time to reflection. Often times after winter break, teachers start new classes and have new students. With the start of a new semester, teachers have the opportunity to review and build upon previous experiences from first semester, but also implement new ideas and new teaching strategies.

On January 2, our group at the MIT Media Lab introduced a new generation of Scratch, called Scratch 3.0. Much has changed since we introduced the first generation of our Scratch programming language and online community, back in 2007. Back then, most K-12 educators saw computer programming as a narrow technical skill, too difficult for most elementary and middle-school students, and useful only for students planning to become professional programmers.

Professional development is more crucial today than ever for educators to stay relevant in the classroom. The fast pace of innovation makes it an ongoing challenge for teachers to stay on top of the latest developments, so they can include the newest topics in their curriculum, particularly in the areas of science, technology, and engineering. Even new teachers struggle because from the moment they graduate from college, their knowledge and skills begin to fall out of date. So, imagine how difficult it is for teachers who have been on the job for five, 10, or 20 years to keep pace with cutting-edge developments.

Amelia Carboni wanted to learn about coding through her interest in computer games. "When I'm older, I can make games I'm proud of or code to make them," said the 9-year-old said as she played one as a bird that collected supplies to grow in size. She is one of six girls who came to the Boys & Girls Club of Fitchburg and Leominster on Saturday to learn about the basics of computer science through Girls Who Code.

A new sport is emerging in local middle schools — robot battles. St. Mary's Episcopal School, a private all-girls pre-K through high school, held its first VEX IQ Challenge Tournament at its East Memphis campus. The event sold out within 30 minutes. If an indication is needed to show how popular robotics competitions have become among kids, that's it.

Christine Nguyen has led robotics competitions for a decade. As director of STEM education for the Boys & Girls Club of Western Pennsylvania, she knows these competitions are grueling and typically require tons of preparation. So when Nguyen found out last year that she had two weeks to help a group of young children — most in elementary school — prepare for a robotics event, she was floored. "... I was like, are you kidding? We have to get these kids ready, who haven't done coding, in two weeks?"
