Time to Scratch out some Projects

Photo by Chuckles

Both #1 Son and Chuckles love taking digital photos. There are a few projects that #1 Son is working on. He plans on entering a call for photographers for a photography exhibition called, "Harvesting Agriculture's Aesthetics,"sponsored by Whatcom Farm Friends. He has the perfect shot of a cow for this contest. #1 Son's fine motor skills are significantly delayed so taking photos has become his ART. Even though drawing is difficult for him, he loves to draw. The city we live in is also having a photo contest. He needs to take some photos for this.

#1 Son is also interested in computer programming. I have been looking around for some resources on that for him. He is only 10 so there isn't much out there for that age group. I ran into the free program called "Scratch". It lets you create animations, games, and stories. We have played with it quite a bit. I have to say it is pretty awesome. I pretty sure that even I could create something with this. Here is an article with more resources.
