Hello world!!
Karen Hope
To summarize in advance, what are some good ACTIVE links/forums/
answers to the following question: what's the best current (2008)
means of home schooling, say, robotics engineering, a teenager using
Smalltalk? I know, I know, this is **exactly** the problem those
brilliant people at PARC solved eons ago.
I am a veteran Smalltalk programmer and ex-robotics engineer,
currently unaffiliated with any company but my own
(beckEngineeringLLC) and find myself in the glorious acquaintance of a
14-year-old daughter, tabula rasa in regards to computer programming.
She is a Vocal Major at a public "magnet" school, and thus, cannot (!)
take computer science classes in high school. Our Baltimore County tax
dollars at work. *sigh* It is what it is.
I would like to homeschool her this summer (2008) using any flavor
of Smalltalk and any Lego-Mindstorm-equivalent appropriate for this
21st century product of mine (um, her name is Ericka).
Please permit me to be the laziest bones possible. I have googled
my way to so many 404's I've lost patience. My bad.
From such a warm community as the Smalltalk/OO world, won't a
latter-day Sparticus reply via Smalltalk group post and/or respond
directly to my email address at beck? This is cross-posted, as you
may note, so pick a forum, any forum, and step right on up.
Thanks so much in advance,
Karen Hope

To those generous people who took the time to (immediately!!) respond
to my query: Thanks, one and all; I KNEW I could count on you!
Pity STS isn't in February as usual this year. I could use a kick-
start ASAP. But I'm happy to note, my fingers are warm and quite
alive, thank you very much, and just itchin' to pick up a browser, any
browser!
Highest regards,
