Hi, The Squeak images tend to be more tuned towards grade-school education. In particular, âeToysâ sits on top of smalltalk and is perfect for young elementary school students to take their first steps in computer programming. My children went through the âwaveplaceâ video tutorials. They did the beta one which was more in depth and had like 30 videos if I remember correctly. Pharo is more âprofessional.â Not to say there is anything wrong with Squeak, it was used for DabbleDB⦠Itâs just that most developers donât want to see a mouse with eyeballs following your cursor when you first launch the image. You can remove that from the image, etc. but itâs that first feel. Overall Squeak seems like it blends in better in the classroom and Pharo suits developers more. Iâll probably be flamed for saying it but realize itâs a high level generalization. I know there is more going on underneath and I know that Pharo is the primary target for Seaside, etc. Both Squeak and Pharo are nice.

I am intrigued. Where can I find more info about Smalltalk education in the schools? I want to see what I can do in Canada.
I presume there is a Smalltalk image customized for the classroom and aimed at elementary school students. That's what I'm hoping for.

ESUG is about the community. Without community then it is terrible. We set up also a program for teachers. Now in the US there is nearly nobody teaching smalltalk and this is a pity.
