Thanks! I had never heard of Phratch (or Scratch, for that matter). It looks very promising. I can imagine it's sorta like LEGO in Smalltalk. What youngster wouldn't like that? Ben Coman wrote
Maybe Phratch? Then maybe they start looking under the hood? http://www.phratch.com/

Oh, I didn't realize you were focussed on older kids. I'm looking at introducing Smalltalk at the elementary school level, getting kids hooked on Smalltalk at an early age. Probably a full-blown Pharo or Squeak image would be overkill.

It depends what is the level you are looking for. We are working on lectures and books for second and third year university students.
Now for kids I do not think that it matters if this the language or software is writting in Smalltalk.

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.
