The Importance of Intentional Creative Learning: "And if you're someone who doesn't necessarily think of yourself as a creative person, then I hope that this challenges you to think about creativity in different terms. And not so much the art, music, and again, the expressive arts, the performing arts, but more so in terms of problem-solving, critical thinking, maybe some more of the logical problem solving and creative uses."— Mike Brennan Welcome back to Creative Chats, the podcast where we explore the world of creativity, innovation, and lifelong learning. I'm your host, Mike Brennan, and in today's episode, we dive into the fascinating realm of creative learning and the principles that foster engagement and innovation. From a captivating robotics program with young, talented minds at an event to exploring the concept of passion and intentional living, we have a wealth of inspiration to share with you. Plus, we'll reveal some valuable insights from a thought-provoking book that challenges our perspectives on creativity.

Chris Gondek interviews Mitchel Resnick about his work at the MIT Media Lab, the foundation for his new book, Lifelong Kindergarten. In kindergartens these days, children spend more time with math worksheets and phonics flashcards than building blocks and finger paint. Kindergarten is becoming more like the rest of school. In Lifelong Kindergarten, learning expert Mitchel Resnick argues for exactly the opposite: the rest of school (even the rest of life) should be more like kindergarten. To thrive in today's fast-changing world, people of all ages must learn to think and act creatively--and the best way to do that is by focusing more on imagining, creating, playing, sharing, and reflecting, just as children do in traditional kindergartens. Drawing on experiences from more than thirty years at MIT's Media Lab, Resnick discusses new technologies and strategies for engaging young people in creative learning experiences. He tells stories of how children are programming their own games, stories, and inventions (for example, a diary security system, created by a twelve-year-old girl), and collaborating through remixing, crowdsourcing, and large-scale group projects (such as a Halloween-themed game called Night at Dreary Castle, produced by more than twenty kids scattered around the world). By providing young people with opportunities to work on projects, based on their passions, in collaboration with peers, in a playful spirit, we can help them prepare for a world where creative thinking is more important than ever before.

Mitchel Resnick (or Mitch, for short) knows his making—from a lot of different angles. And he’s not too bought into the whole “electronics and gadgets” side of the maker movement. Resnick has been in this business for more than 30 years, and it’s safe to say that he’s seen the maker movement—and the state of STEM education, in general—go through its phases, its ups and downs. He’s currently the LEGO Papert Professor of Learning Research and head of the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, where he and his team have developed products familiar to many a science educator: the "programmable brick" technology that inspired the LEGO Mindstorms robotics kit, and Scratch, an online computing environment for students to learn about computer science. Is making something that every school should be doing—and are all interpretations of “making” of equitable value? EdSurge sat down with Resnick in his office at the MIT Media Lab to learn more, and to find out how he and his team are working to bring more creativity into the learning process.

En el capítulo de hoy vamos a ver diferentes alternativas de programación visual con Arduino. Uno de los grandes problemas a los que te puedes enfrentar con esta placa es la programación. Para poder tener una iniciación progresiva en este mundo, es importante comenzar con lenguajes de programación enfocados a obtener las nociones básicas de computación, olvidándote de los errores de sintaxis y de las particularidades de cada lenguaje. En este capítulo vamos a ver Scratch y Snap!.Si quieres contactar con nosotros lo puedes hacer de diferentes maneras, a través del formulario de contacto, en el e-mail info@programarfacil.com, en Twitter (@programarfacilc) o en Facebook. También puedes mantenerte al día a través de la lista de distribución.Ya te hablamos en el capítulo 28. Entorno de desarrollo de Arduino las diferentes opciones que teníamos a la hora de crear nuestro programas en código nativo de Arduino. El entorno de desarrollo oficial de Arduino está basado en Wiring (framework de código abierto para programar microcontroladores), que a su vez está basado en Processing, un lenguaje bastante sencillo de utilizar enfocado en proyectos multimedia e interactivos de diseño digital.Arduino utiliza diferentes lenguajes y plataformas para poder programar su microcontrolador. En un pasado, no muy lejano, esta tarea se hacía muy tediosa debido a que se debía programar en lenguajes de bajo nivel como ensamblador o en algún otro tipo de lenguaje propietario de cada microcontrolador que, solo servían para esa marca e incluso para un único modelo. El fin principal de Arduino es dar a conocer las ciencias de la computación y la electrónica sin que esto suponga un trauma para los usuarios. Cuando adquieres una placa o kit de Arduino puedes empezar a aprender en cuestión de minutos, solo debes descargar el IDE oficial, instalarlo y a programar.Desarrollar un software comercial implica tener conocimientos en muchas facetas tanto de la programación como de la tecnología pero, si miramos la esencia de cada programa todos se rigen por las mismas leyes, lógica, matemáticas, algoritmos y comunicación. La programación visual te permite adentrarte en este mundo de una manera suave. Existen varias plataformas que facilitan esta tarea. Si lo que realmente quieres es aprender a programar y dedicarte a ello profesionalmente, no te voy a engañar, es una tarea francamente difícil pero no imposible, siempre digo lo mismo, ilusión y constancia es la clave del éxito.El primer paso que aconsejo que des es comenzar a utilizar Scratch, si además lo combinas con Arduino, te prometo que aprenderás a programar jugando. Esto se puede hacer gracias a la plataforma S4A y es de la que hablaremos en este capítulo.ScratchQuizás sea el lenguaje de programación visual por antonomasia, fue creado por Mitchel Resnick, miembro del MIT (Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts), en el año 2003. Desde entonces ha evolucionado y ha pasado por diferentes fases hasta llegar donde está ahora. Puedes trabajar online a través de su web y la posibilidad de trabajar offline descargando el editor de Scratch 2.0. Se trata de un software libre, lo que implica que puedes descargar el código fuente y amoldarlo a tus requerimientos.Scratch está orientado a niños a partir de los 8 años pero es más que recomendable para todos aquellos que se quieran iniciar en la programación. El entorno de desarrollo no ofrece todo lo necesario para comenzar, un escenario, bloques, objetos, disfraces y sonidos, con estos cinco componentes podemos crear juegos y programas totalmente funcionales, puedes ver ejemplos en la galería de la web oficial. También puedes ver el tutorial que hicimos para crear el acertijo del lobo, la cabra y la col (parte 1 y parte 2).El escenario es donde transcurre la acción y donde los objetos interactúan. Los objetos tienen disfraces para crear animaciones y sonidos que pueden ser asignados a diferentes acciones. Los bloques son la parte fundamental de la programación, si los arrastras al área de script podrás ir dando vida a los diferentes objetos y establecer su comportamiento.S4APlataforma orientada a la programación con Scratch y Arduino. Actualmente están desarrollando su sustituto Snap4Arduino que está en una fase beta, hablaremos más tarde de él. Está desarrollado y mantenido por el equipo de Smalltalk (lenguaje de programación reflexivo orientado a objetos) del Citilab (centro de investigación e innovación sobre la Internet social que centra su actividad en la innovación digital ciudadana, con el objetivo de difundir y fomentar la Sociedad de la Información) El concepto es poder utilizar toda la potencia de Scratch para crear proyectos con Arduino. La gran ventaja que nos ofrece S4A es precisamente que se basa en Scratch, un lenguaje reconocido por su facilidad y sencillez.La gran desventaja que nos podemos encontrar es la conectividad con la placa, solo nos ofrece los siguientes pines de Arduino:6 entradas analógicas2 entradas digitales (2 y 3)3 salidas analógicas PWM (5, 6 y 9)3 salidas digitales (10, 11 y 13)4 salidas digitales para servomotores (4, 7, 8 y 12)Debido a su carácter de código abierto, podemos añadir nuevos bloques y funcionalidades ya que tenemos a nuestra disposición el código fuente del entorno de desarrollo.Si quieres comenzar con esta plataforma te recomiendo que leas el artículo donde te explico cómo debes instalarlo para comenzar a trabajar.Snap!Snap! es un lenguaje de programación visual inspirado en Scratch, basado en bloques y la misma filosofía de facilidad y sencillez para aprender a programar. Formalmente se llama BYOB (Built Your Own Blocks, Construye Tus Propios Bloques) e incluye y expande funcionalidades de Scratch. Fue creado por un grupo peteneciente al MIT (MIT Media Lab) Una de las mayores ventajas es precisamente eso, que puedes crear tus propios bloques para que se comporten como tu quieras y después añadirlos a tu entorno de desarrollo.La versión 4.0 está basada enteramente en los navegadores, escrita en JavaScript y HTML5, pudiendo ser ejecutada en cualquier plataforma y sin necesidad de instalar nada en tu máquina local. Funciona incluso con las plataformas móviles.Snap4ArduinoSe trata del sucesor de Scratch4Arduino y actualmente se encuentra en su fase beta, primera versión completa, puedes descargarla en su web. Esta desarrollada y mantenida por el mismo equipo que desarrolló S4A.Las ventajas de esta plataforma son:Soporta casi todos los tipos de placas de Arduino, incluyendo Mega y Nano.Los pins son auto-configurables pudiendo aprovechar todas las capacidades de la placa.Es siete veces más rápido en tiempos de respuesta que el S4A.Interactuación con más de una placa de Arduino en el mismo programa.Posibilidad de construir tus propios bloques.Es una aplicación de escritorio así que no necesitas tener conexión a Internet.Utiliza un nuevo firmware basado en Firmata.Posibilidad de traducir Snap! a código nativo de Arduino.La mayores desventajas que tiene es que no es compatible con S4A y que por ahora está en la versión Beta que, aunque sea totalmente funcional, no está exento de errores y puede ser inestable.Existen otras alternativas a estos dos lenguajes como Ardublock y miniBloq, pero esto lo dejaremos para otro capítulo.Recurso del díaFirmata es un protocolo de comunicaciones para microcontroladores que nos permite conectar nuestro software instalado en un PC y Arduino. Puede ser utilizado con un firmware que se instala en cualquier arquitectura de microcontrolador así como en cualquier software soportado por este protocolo. Muy recomendable para utilizar con la gama Atmel de Arduino. Soporta los lenguajes más comunes como .NET, Java, JavaScript y PHP. También puede ser utilizado como protocolo para la comunicación con dispositivos móviles.Muchas gracias a todos por los comentarios y valoraciones que nos hacéis en iVoox, iTunes y en Spreaker, nos dan mucho ánimo para seguir con este proyecto.

In Bowling Alone (2000), Robert Putnam wrote about a generation of Americans cut off from traditional forms of community life and civic engagement, passive consumers of mass media. But others have noted the expansion of participatory cultures and virtual communities on the web, the growth of blogs, podcasts, and other forms of citizen journalism, the rise of new kinds of social affiliations within virtual worlds. What lessons can we learn from these online worlds that will make an impact in the communities where we work, sleep, and vote? What new technologies and practices offer us the best chance of revitalizing civic engagement? This forum marks the launch of the new MIT Center for Future Civic Media, a collaboration between the MIT Media Lab and Comparative Media Studies (CMS) program and is the first in a series of events designed to focus attention on the relationship between emerging media and civic engagement. The center has been funded by a $5 million grant from the Knight Foundation. Its directors will be Chris Csikszentmihalyi and Mitchel Resnick of the Media Lab and Henry Jenkins of CMS.
