Hello, The Office for Mathematics, Science and Technology Education at the University of Illinois has scheduled two workshops for teachers and administrators interested in learning Squeak and in exploring a variety of curriculum applications. Please distribute this to those you think may be interested in attending the workshops. There is no charge for these workshops.
- Squeak is a programming language and multi-media environment
