Hello,

I would thank if some of the guys (girls?) here can tell me if you know 
about some
toy computer that comes with a programming language ?

I have dig on google and I didn't found it.  Maybe some of you know 
about it.

My idea is to learn WHAT have happened to those machines in the previous 
year?
where they have been used? what results got the teachers and pupils ?

I don't know if the results that we can find will be positive, negative 
or neutral.

been a programmer I have told all my life that not all people can be a 
programmer...
but... what results get all the kids (the normal, not the "programming" 
skillfull ones)
when you put a toy "computer" with computer programming capabilities.

Language? anyone... it would be interesting to do comparison about what 
a child
got from "Basic" language (Kemeny and Kurst) or from Logo... or you name it.

Best regards,

Javier Rodriguez
