Little hopes

With the world under lockdown, it's easy to fall prey to the idea that the end is near. After all, there's no hope at all, is there? Uncertainty everywhere, especially in the economics of life & living.

And yet.

Today, a colleague & his young son shared with a small group of people & their kid(s) how to learn to solve problems using MIT's open source project called Scratch. It may not seem like much, but for the kids, it was a transportation to another exciting world. I know of at least three kids who went straight into their new-found tool & were still exploring it a couple of hours later.

Exploration.
Hope.
The kids show us the way.

PS: Thanks Rod & Archie.
