Can someone pretty please donate to https://www.every.org/sugar-labs? It'd be great if we could hire some hands to do things like do systems administration and support with deployment.

If you can't make a donation, that's ok. You can like or share the page, and that'll help.

And attached is an image of my students (used with permission) as inspiration, if you need it.

NYC interactive subway - Music Blocks

This lesson is both a game and an activity to learn about swing in music and event handlers in programming. Have fun!

You can tell that the child in the photo is doing programming because of the smile on his face.

That's my son showing me his Turtle Blocks and Music Blocks projects.

I asked #ChatGPT if there is #FOSS solutions to learn #coding to #preschoolers (#twins #4yo here). Here is the answer:

Oui, plusieurs applications open source sont disponibles pour les enfants d'âge préscolaire. Voici quelques-unes qui sont conçues pour être éducatives et divertissantes :
1. #gcompris
2. #childsplay
3. #tuxpaint
4. #stellarium
5. #TurtleBlocks
6. #TuxTyping
7. #kdeedu Suite

Let’s increase #screentime to test them! 😊
