Last year, we were excited to host more than 300 Scratch educators and enthusiasts at the first Scratch@MIT conference.
This year, we're trying something different. We're reaching out to the Scratch community to organize a network of gatherings, on the same day in all parts of the world, where people can meet, share, and learn more about Scratch. Already, Scratch Day events are being planned in Colombia, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Palestine, Romania, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, and Uruguay, as well as the United States, in Texas, Alabama, Minnesota, and Massachusetts.
We're hoping that you'll participate in a Scratch Day gathering on May 16 – or even organize one. You could arrange a hands-on workshop to introduce newcomers to Scratch, or an exhibition to showcase projects by local Scratchers, or a session where educators share their experiences with Scratch, or an informal gathering where Scratchers can meet one another and exchange ideas. What will your Scratch Day look like?
Check out the new Scratch Day forum - where you can ask questions, share your hopes for Scratch Day, and explore ways to contribute to Scratch Day events.

I don't think it's fair that there won't be any in Canada or Russia, because they are the 2 biggest countries and I bet many would want to go

Will there be one in ontario?
a lot of people have asked that(ontario) or in toronto but the answer is no too both unfortunately. unless someone starts one; by organizing one. i bet it could be possible though because lots of people want one around that area.
