Apparently, it's based on Logo, which I remember fondly from junior high, but it's simplified. Users drag and drop blocks of code to create programs, so there aren't any of those pesky syntax errors that used to plague my rudimentary Logo programming. Hennepin PL has partnered with the local science museum to present programming using Scratch, and there's a vibrant user community around it. Cool stuff!
