Kevin, maybe doing something around C Scott's XO Bot / XOrduino / XO Stick
projects ( http://cananian.livejournal.com/66654.html ) in combination with
Turtle Art / Scratch programming or collaborating with the butia folks from
Uruguay could be a way to emphasize the computational thinking aspects?

Chris and Walter,
Google said it got so many applications it could not provide feedback. The
winners had great proposals, so I just think the competition is stiff. Sugar
would be a good fit for Summer of Code; probably same problem.
We might need to strengthen the "computational thinking" comp

Hi Kevin,
thanks a lot for the heads-up and for all the information on your Web site.
Did you get any feedback as to why the proposal wasn't accepted? Because
similarly to you it's my impression that Sugar-related activities should
fit in quite well with RISE's scope...

We submitted a Google Rise proposal last year, but were not funded. The
competition does seem like a good fit for Sugar Camps, after school programs,
etc., especially if working with populations underrepresented in the CS world.

Hi all,
via Twitter I just stumbled across a new Google program called RISE
(Roots in Science and Engineering) Awards where organizations can apply
for up to $10,000 / €10,000 for projects promoting and supporting STEM
and CS education initiatives.
The application period in Europe has starte
