Mitchel Resnick, Professor of Learning Research at the MIT Media Lab, develops new technologies to engage people (especially children) in creative learning experiences. His research group has collaborated closely with the LEGO Company on the development of the MINDSTORMS and WeDo robotics kits. Resnick co-founded the Computer Clubhouse project, an international network of after-school learning centers for youth from low-income communities. Resnick's group recently developed a new programming language, called Scratch, which makes it easier to create your their own interactive stories, games, and animations. Resnick earned a BS in physics from Princeton, and an MS and PhD in computer science from MIT.
