  The
Week in Digital Media & Learning

Applications are due March 30, 2012, for the Cooney Center Fellows
Program<http://e2ma.net/go/7447641447/208823298/230886065/1407683/goto:http://joanganzcooneycenter.org/Initiatives-30.html>,

New York City, and pays a $50,000 stipend. The selected Fellow will
undertake an independent research project of his/her design—usually

 Since MIT’s Lifelong Kindergarten group released Scratch in 2007, kids
ages 8 to 13 have built more than 2.2 million animations, games, music,
videos and stories using the kid-friendly programming language. Now with a
grant from the National Foundation of Science, Lifelong Kindergarten is
collaborating with Tufts University’s DevTech Research Group to make
Scratch Jr, a new version aimed at kids in preschool to second grade.
