Are you interested in being interviewed?

Hello Scratchers,

As some of you know, I’m a student at MIT and a member of the Scratch Team.

This summer I’m "on leave" from MIT and I am working at Microsoft Research . As part of my work at Microsoft, I am interested in interviewing members of the Scratch community about their use of Scratch.

If you are interested in being interviewed, please ask your parents to contact me at andresmh@scratch.mit.edu so we can set up a time and date for an interview. Please make sure your parents are the ones contacting me and not you directly!

The interviews would take place either at the Microsoft offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts or via Skype/Phone.

The whole thing can take up to 60 minutes. We will give you a small compensation for your time and you'll get to visit one of the coolest buildings in Boston (if can come).

I hope to hear from your parents soon!

Aw, I wish I could, but I live nowhere near Boston.

Although, I would be game for an online or over-the-phone email.

First I want to interview as many people as possible in person. Thanks for the offer to be interviewed over Skype. Tell your parents to contact me anyway.

Any age actually. I just removed the "young" part to make it clearer.

Re: Are you interested in being interviewed?

My parents would never drive me to Boston, too far away  tongue

However, i guess i could do the interview via skype or an e-mail survey, if that's ok...  hmm

Overall, it all depends if you're willing to go to Boston  tongue . It's just 'reccomended'

I live about an hr away, but I'm definitely willing to go with my Scratch dedication!
