Hi Caryl,
When we did the teacher training used a modified Soas image with Sugar and
Gnome, similar to the software they will be using in their XOs.
You can use SoaS in spanish, only must change the language in the control
panel. Have you tried this?
There are a few pages in the wiki in spanish.
I'm a curious outsider. Do kids actually hack sugar, change codes, do
language translation, etc?
Or is it just an option that they have with Sugar-FOSS?

energy combating the accusations that OLPC's plan is to give hardware
to children, sit back, and wait for miracles to happen. The sustained
efforts of the Sugar community and the enormous investment in support

Hi Soren,
good to hear from you, how's the thesis coming along?
Bernie Innocenti (in CC) who's currently working with the OLPC / Sugar
project in Paraguay has held some successful classes and programming
workshops with relatively young people. I don't remember the details but
I'm sure he can

I hope a non-Sugar anecdote is OK.
I had a year 6 (aprox. 11year old) student in my class programming in a
TurtleArt/Etoys/Scratch like drag and drop programming language with top end
extensibility through a scripting language.
He found a strategy game with quite complex coding in the
Walter Bender has also created a Turtle Art/Python path using
programmable blocks. I did a presentation on it once showing some
simple functions for graphing, and adding math functions from Python
to Turtle Art. You start by assigning a single function call to a
block, then an expression, then a
