Medium.com Scenes from the Future. Scratch creator Mitchel Resnick about Belarus and HTP

Mitchel Resnick, creator of  a visual programming language Scratch visited school in Orsha, Belarus.
"Of course, one motivation for the Scratch initiatives in Belarus is to develop future programmers and computer scientists for the Belarus workforce. But the overall goals are much broader. The Belarus Hi-Tech Park uses the phrase “Programming is the Second Literacy” to describe its nationwide educational initiative. I really like this phrase. I see programming as a new way for children to organize, express, and share their ideas", said Mitchel Resnick,creator of  a visual programming language Scratch.
