Scratch broadens the range of what you can design and create on the computer, making it easier to express your creativity. With Scratch, you can create characters that dance, sing and interact with one another, create images that whirl, spin, and animate in response to movements of the mouse, or integrate images with sound effects and music clips.

Scratch is a perfect tool for kids to learn the basics of computer programming, providing them with a tool that helps them explore their creative side by designing interactive birthday cards, short animated videoclips or interactive reports for school.

At the core of Scratch is a graphical programming language that lets you control the actions and interactions among different media. Coding in Scratch is much easier than in traditional programming languages: to create a script, you simply snap together graphical blocks, much like LEGO bricks or puzzle pieces.

Once you’ve created a Scratch project, you can share it on the Scratch website, the same way you might share videos on YouTube or photos on Flickr. Or you can embed your Scratch project in any other webpage – for example, embedding an interactive Scratch animation on your MySpace or Facebook homepage.

Wikipedia has to be one of the most widely checked resources on the internet but what happens if you don't have a connection to the net?

WikiTaxi is a useful little tool that allows you to do exactly that - download Wikipedia to your hard drive and consult it without even having to access the Internet. However there is a catch - you need a hell of a lot of spare drive space. Because Wikipedia is constantly growing, WikiTaxi uses compression to make sure that the database fits on an 8 GB memory stick - still pretty impressive.

On the plus side, Wikitaxi requires no installation. Just extract the WikiTaxi archive to any folder, and it's ready to go. The folder can be on a fixed hard drive, or a portable device like memory stick or flash card. WikiTaxi does also modify a small options *.ini file which it places right next to its own executable so it does modify your PC a little.

WikiTaxi is a brilliant innovation that makes reading Wikipedia without an internet connection a reality but it does require a lot of free disk space.

Let’s say you’re a bit of a catastrophic person, worried about potential Earth events like volcanoes and earthquakes, maybe near where you live. Earth Alerts is just the program you need to have the situation under control and make you feel safer. At this stage, it only provides data for American cities, but maybe in the future the rest of the world will be reassured about fires, severe weather conditions and, as we mentioned, seismic activity.

To start monitoring a city, just click the New Location option you find in the Settings menu. Normally, if you write the name of city the program should find it in its database and automatically fill in all the information, like Time Zone or Weather Zone, which otherwise could be tricky to insert manually. Add as many cities as you like to receive regular updates during the day.

On the left side of Earth Alerts’s window, you have the list of your chosen cities, with the corresponding volcano, fire and earthquake alerts and also severe weather indications. There is also a global overview with ongoing Earth activity, with a special Tsunami and Tropical section in addition to those mentioned above.

Earth Alerts provides regular updates on Earth geological and meteorological activities, both globally and for specified American cities. Information is presented in a clear way, although you shouldn’t expect to receive lots of it every day… hopefully.

The Bridge Construction Set will not only cater to wannabe architects but also to anybody curious about the physics of bridges. The game, set in a wireframe 3D environment, allows you to build briges of different sizes and materials. The trick is to make something that will hold, whilst not exceeding your budget. You'll have varying amounts of materials like wire, steel, or decks at hand, each with a specific function. The fun part of the game is that you can simulate your creations and open it up to vehicles to see if it holds.

We weren't really bothered by the weak graphics, as after all this a wireframe simulation. What was a cause for concern was the difficulty of the game. You'll soon see that it's difficult to build something resistant with a limited budget, also considering that there are external elements that you have to deal with, like the wind.

We also felt that the instructions in the game were a bit limited. Although going into Help gives you all details into material weight, strength and costs and all the key functions, more tips on which material to use where would have come in handy.

The Bridge Construction Set is a challenging wireframe 3D building game.

There are plenty of activities to do during summer holidays, but if you haven't found any that suit you yet, I suggest you try poetry. Rhymesaurus will make it really easy for you!

This original application will find rhyming words for anything you write on its search field – well, for almost anything. Rhymesaurus contains about 35,000 words so there are obviously a few missing, but it worked fine for me for each one I tried (even swearwords, which we all know it's one of the first things you look up in a dictionary).

Search results include rhyming words classified according to their number of syllables, as well as idioms and proverbs that can also be used in your rhyme. You can set the program to highlight the most common words.

There's not much left apart from that: no configuration options or no extra tools, apart from the possibility to save your searches.

Rhymesaurus is a quite simple yet very original application that will find rhyming words for anything you type in.

Virtual Microscope is a Java application that supports interactive viewing of high-resolution, multi-dimensional image datasets from various microscopes. We currently support data from a Philips Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM), and a Fluorescence Light Microscope.

The interface provides a simulation of an actual microscope interface. Controls common to all datasets include brightness, magnification (usually up to 1800x), navigation, measurement, and annotation. SEM samples include a contrast control, and some also include a focus control.

The navigation and magnification controls allow the user to explore any point of interest on the sample. This differs from other virtual microscopes that have been produced which provide only a few 'hot spots' that can be magnified and explored.

This unusual program is a useful tool for educators, scientists and filmmakers who want to see what the world looks like, or create special effects, through cat's eyes. It works by applying a number of filters to an image which simulate exactly the kind of vision that a cat experiences.

The changes are made remarkably quickly once you load an image and it creates a very unusual and eye catching effect within seconds. The transformation takes place in real time and it's not very complicated to use. There are 12 different filters which each give a slight variation on the cat's eye theme so you can tweak it in various ways.

To be honest, this is not a spectacular program and although the cat's eye effect is unusual, it's hardly attractive. However, if you're looking for an unusual filter or working on a cat related project, it may be just what you need.

Freeware version of Scholar's Aid, the most popular bibliographical data manager and notes/information manager. Scholar's Aid keeps bibliographical data and notes together, for the very good reason that scholars always need to keep their notes linked to the sources from which those notes were made. Indeed, in academic writing, scholars constantly support their argument by reference to the sources on which they have worked. Thus, in directly quoting from one of these sources, or in making reference to another’s ideas, rigorous academic scholarship demands accurate and detailed citation of those original sources.

I Ching Dream Teller is a piece of software which can help you interpret the meaning of your dreams, using I Ching. The idea behind I Ching is very old. It describes a philosophy which centers on the ideas of the dynamic balance of opposites, the evolution of events as a process, and acceptance of the inevitability of change.

I Ching is also used as a technique for predicting the future. Yellow rods (or three coins) are cast in order to select one the hexagram. A hexagram is a simbol made of six lines which may be broken or continuous. An oracle is attached to each of the hexagram. To interpret the content of a dream or trying to find meanings in the dreams is also not new.
