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
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 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...
Cheers,
Christoph

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

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?
