🎙️ Spotlight on Margaret Honey, President and CEO of the Scratch Foundation: Inspiring Creativity and Curiosity in Kids Worldwide.
In our interview, Margaret shared her unique journey, from her early days at Sesame Workshop to leading the New York Hall of Science in #NYC, and now championing a global community at Scratch. She spoke passionately about how we “see the world from where we sit,” highlighting the importance of listening to kids to nurture their natural curiosity and imagination—which she calls "the currency of the future."
👏 With over 170 million users spanning every country in the world and more than 500,000 new projects created daily, Scratch is a true powerhouse platform and a shining example of a kid-centered organization! 🌍✨
Under her leadership, and in partnership with Emergence AI, Scratch is looking forward to creating real digital playground for young minds, introducing AI as a tool to unlock deeper creativity as a kid-focused thought partner. Using these tools and creating fun, safe environments they empower kids to build, explore, and learn alongside a global community, Margaret and her team are fostering skills that go beyond coding: creativity, collaboration, and a sense of belonging.
Her story is also a testament to the power of lifelong learning, generosity, and mentorship. Margaret’s ability to listen, learn, and lead has created an environment where kids aren’t just learning to code—they’re learning to think big and connect with the world in meaningful ways.
What an inspiring vision for the next generation! 🌍✨
