Feynlabs is using the Raspberry Pi to teach the concepts of programming languages to kids and in doing so, creating a new way in which deep principles of Computer Science can be introduced to kids. The Raspberry Pi is a platform – and as it's creators have the community which will drive it's direction and evolution. This will be a long three part blog about how we are using the Raspberry Pi in the Feynlabs program as a way to introduce Computer science to kids. I'd be a bit worried about a CS course that includes BASIC—that indicates to me a course design that has not been thought about for a LONG, LONG time. I didn't really learn to understand abstract-as-a-verb until I got it from the computer programming folks, via the How to Design Programs book (free at http://htdp.org if you're interested). How to Design Programs: An Introduction to Programming and Computing. Finally, students learn languages such as BASIC and C++ to begin writing programs as they are formally introduced to computer programming. As part of a district-wide program called Digital Design that I teach, every student from fourth through sixth grade is exposed to computer programming in addition to 2D and 3D design. The Computer Science A test is all that College Board offers in computer science. From this list, experienced programmers will recognize that the Phi coprocessors support the full gamut of modern and legacy programming models.
