Context: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded in 1861 in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States, MIT adopted a European polytechnic university model and stressed laboratory instruction in applied science and engineering. Researchers worked on computers, radar, and inertial guidance during World War II and the Cold War. Post-war defense research contributed to the rapid expansion of the faculty and campus under James Killian. The current campus opened in 1916 and extends over along the northern bank of the Charles River basin., StarLogo is an agent-based simulation language developed by Mitchel Resnick, Eric Klopfer, and others at MIT Media Lab and MIT Scheller Teacher Education Program in Massachusetts. It is an extension of the Logo programming language, a dialect of Lisp. Designed for education, StarLogo can be used by students to model the behavior of decentralized systems., Mitchel Resnick ( born June 12 , 1956 ) is LEGO Papert Professor of Learning Research , Director of the Okawa Center , and Director of the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab. Resnick currently serves as the head of the Media Arts and Sciences academic program , the academic program that grants master 's degrees and Ph.Ds at the MIT Media Lab. Resnick 's research group has developed a variety of educational tools that engage people in new types of design activities and learning experiences , including the `` programmable bricks '' that were the basis for the award - winning LEGO Mindstorms and StarLogo software . He co-founded the Computer Clubhouse , an award - winning network of learning centers for youth from under - served communities . Resnick is also a co-founder and a co-principal investigator of the Center for Civic Media . at MIT . Resnick 's group has developed a new programming language , called Scratch , that makes it easier for kids to create their own animated stories , video games , and interactive art. Resnick is also involved in the next generation of Programmable Bricks and in the $ 100 laptop project . Resnick , a graduate of Haverford High School ( Pa . ) , earned a BA in physics at Princeton University ( 1978 ) , and MS and PhD degrees in computer science at MIT ( 1988 , 1992 ) . He worked for five years as a science / technology journalist for Business Week magazine , and he has consulted widely on the uses of computers in education . Resnick was awarded a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award in 1993 . He is author of the book Turtles , Termites , and Traffic Jams , co-editor of Constructionism in Practice : Designing , Thinking , and Learning in a Digital World ( 1996 ) , and co-author of Adventures in Modeling : Exploring Complex , Dynamic Systems with StarLogo ( 2001 ) . Dr. Resnick is a winner of the 2011 Harold W. McGraw Jr. Prize in Education . He has been listed as one of the 100 most creative people in Business 2011 by Fast Company . He has also collaborated extensively with researchers such as Natalie Rusk , Brian Silverman , and Yasmin Kafai ., A computer simulation language describes the operation of a simulation on a computer. There are two major types of simulation: continuous and discrete event though more modern languages can handle more complex combinations most languages also have a graphical interface and at least a simple statistic gathering capability for the analysis of the results. An important part of discrete-event languages is the ability to generate pseudo-random numbers and variants from different probability distributions. Examples are:, The Clubhouse: Where Technology Meets Imagination is a free out-of-school learning program where young people (ages 1018) from underserved communities work with adult mentors to explore their own ideas, develop new skills, and build confidence in themselves through the use of technology. Founded as the "Computer Clubhouse" in 1993, The Clubhouse is the brainchild of Mitchel Resnick and Natalie Rusk of the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Stina Cooke of The Boston Computer Museum, now part of the Museum of Science, Boston., Massachusetts ; officially the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is the most populous state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island to the south, New Hampshire and Vermont to the north, and New York to the west. The state is named for the Massachusett tribe, which once inhabited the area. The capital of Massachusetts and the most populous city in New England is Boston. Over 80% of Massachusetts' population lives in the Greater Boston metropolitan area, a region influential upon American history, academia, and industry. Originally dependent on agriculture, fishing and trade, Massachusetts was transformed into a manufacturing center during the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century, Massachusetts' economy shifted from manufacturing to services. Modern Massachusetts is a global leader in biotechnology, engineering, higher education, finance, and maritime trade., The MIT Media Lab is an interdisciplinary research laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology devoted to projects at the convergence of technology, multimedia, sciences, art and design. Staff and students have backgrounds ranging from electrical engineering and computer science to sociology and music and others. The Media Lab has been widely popularized since the 1990s by business and technology publications such as "Wired" and "Red Herring" for a series of practical inventions in the fields of wireless networks, field sensing, web browsers and the World Wide Web. , it has diversified its research into neurobiology, biologically inspired fabrication, socially engaging robots, emotive computing, bionics, and hyperinstruments. The One Laptop per Child (OLPC) was one of the notable research efforts which grew out of the Media Lab., Subject: mitchel resnick, Relation: employer, Options: (A) interface (B) massachusetts institute of technology (C) new york (D) professor (E) school (F) the atlantic (G) wired
