We are having great success using Squeak as a four week introduction to the use of Lego Mindstorms with our 4th graders. It seems that Squeak allows children to construct simpler models and learn the concepts required for creating the logic necessary when using the Legos. We have worked with Legos for years but found that the introduction through Squeak, especially The Great Car Race, has moved the process of understanding way ahead of our past group experiences.
Has anyone else been working with Legos and Squeak?
