"One day, I arrived home from school. On the table sat an apple. But it might not be an apple at all."

<aside> 🍎 Welcome to the It Might Be an Apple Festival! This will be a chance to work on a creative project over the next week, and then share it with friends! It is open to all ages to participate, but younger folks might need some support from older folks to get started (installing apps and/or signing up for logins on a site like Scratch).

Hopefully this will encourage some creative explorations and learning. As you are working on your projects, if you have feedback, thoughts, ideas, additional things that should be added, please let me know! And I look forward to seeing you in the Welcome Gallery, Work-in-Progress Gallery, Getting Unstuck!, and for the It Might Be An Apple Festival Showcase on March 26th at 9:30AM Eastern. Watch this space for a Zoom link soon!
