a Note of Thanks

The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups
created the Learning through Engineering,
Art and Design (LEAD) Project in 2005 in
collaboration with the MIT Media Lab and the
Chinese University of Hong Kong. The LEAD
Project promotes hands-on, design-based activities
with the creative use of technology and aims to
develop an innovative spirit among the youth of
Hong Kong. Since its founding, it has promoted
technology education on a grand scale, reaching
more than 1,000,000 students, parents, and
educators.
Super Scratch Programming Adventure! is our second of three
books about Scratch and the first to be translated into English.
This book highlights the playful spirit of learning to program with
Scratch, which inspires young people to apply digital technologies in
imaginative and innovative ways.
We are very grateful to the MIT Media Lab, which has been our
partner since LEAD was established in 2005. We are particularly
appreciative of Professor Mitchel Resnick and Mr. Michael Smith-
Welch, who have always been LEAD’s staunchest supporters and
greatest cheerleaders. Because of their unwavering belief in Scratch
and in LEAD, you are now able to read this English edition.
We hope this book inspires you to design your very own games,
projects, and more with Scratch.
