Getting Kinect-ed

I finally set up the Kinects in the computer lab today at the school and had lots of fun showing the students how Scratch can interface with it. I make a little game that featured a bat flying though caverns. You have to duck and jump in order to avoid the stalactites and stalagmites. We are using Kinect2Scratch, a program developed by Stephen Howel in Ireland that enables Scratch programmers to interface with the Kinect.  I can't wait to see what the students are able to come up with!
