Squeak Workshop Experiences in Kyoto

This poster presentation introduces our first Squeak workshops offered in the context of the ALAN-K (Advanced LeArning Network in Kyoto) project (Konomi and Karuno, 2003), which is part of a major effort to create new learning environments for elementary, junior high and high school students in Kyoto, Japan. 1 Overview of the Workshops Our first Squeak workshops were offered at two elementary schools in Kyoto on the 21st and the 22nd of November in 2002. We cooperated with a cognitive scientist in the United States, expert Squeak developers and others to prepare for the workshops and invited them to Japan to conduct these very first workshops in Kyoto. We served as assistants during the workshops, interacting with individual students. 11/21 Takakura 11/22 Gosho Minami Total 5th graders 0 ( 0%) 9 (47%) 9 (23%) 6th graders 20 (100%) 10 (53%) 30 (77%) Male 16 (80%) 11 (55%) 27 (67%) Female 4 (20%) 9 (45%) 13 (33%) Year using PC < 1 3 (15%) 2 (10%) 5 (13%) 1—2 4 (20%) 10 (50%) 14 (35...
