I thought I should share this success story on this list.

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