Scratch day scolarships
I really want to go to the scratch confernece, but I don't have 275 dollars, and my parents don't have 275 ddollars to throw around. So is there any way I could get some sort of scholarship to lessen the cost?
Thanks!

Don't bother with the confrence. It's just all for educators and teachers and stuff. Go to the Scratch Day. Its a a ton cheaper, but also its for kids, with workshops and stuff

Well Scratch day at MIT is $10. The Scratch conference is $275.
In the title I meant to say conference.

Scratch day is at other places than MIt, though right? Because I live in the midwest.

For me $1200 wouldn't even be one way.
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Well - Scratch day at MIT is probably far for many. But we could always arrange one.

Looks interesting, and I want to meet more people that scratch. I know two people on scratch, and they haven't logged on since last year.
