Might need to think on that. Check with the teachers. The kids may have already experienced Scratch. (We package it into our builds at One Laptop per Child.) Hands on it's great, but you need a good teacher student ratio to get going. There are also Arduino extensions for Scratch, which allow you to demonstrate and connect real hardware of your own devising. Not fast, but effective at teaching. --=20 James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
