I thought I should share this success story on this list.

http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_405695.html

I am a concil member of the Singapore IT Standards Committee[1] and an
organizer of the
code::XtremeApps[2] programming contest.  We have had a Junior
Category since 2008
and it is targeted at children 12 years and below.  Last year we used
Alice and this year
we used Squeak.  We had about 31 teams with about 80 children
participate in this contest.

The link above is about a two-person team (a 4 year old and her 8 year
old sister) who
wrote an application on healthy lifestyle focusing on anti-smoking
messages.
