[TriLUG] Teaching Kids to Program

[Mike Viscount via TriLUG]

While I have not done Python to date I'll just toss out that it's the first
mentioned way to go with Raspberry PI so if you were to go that route it
would open up the ready to go next step if you were interested in that.
Lot's of projects and easy to do teaching stuff avail in that regard as
well.

Just a thought... hope it helps....
