Re: What's the motivation of making scratch?
I think the students that made this got extra credit at MIT or something. At least, I hope they did, 'cause they definitely deserve it.

Re: What's the motivation of making scratch?
There are different motivations. One of them is to do research to understand how to support learning through technology. The other one is to improve the world by giving people tools that allow them to create stuff (i.e. Projects) rather than just consume it (e.g. TV).

But MIT spent a lot of money!
