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