MPB and partner Springboard to Opportunities’ staff played a key role in implementing the Family Creative Learning: ScratchJr workshop series at Lincoln Garden Apartments, Jackson, MS.  The purpose of this workshop series was to teach kids ages 5-8 coding concepts, while creating interactive stories using PBS KIDS characters.  This workshop also encouraged parents and children to work together creatively using media and technology.  This project is funded by a Ready To Learn grant provided by the Department of Education to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
