Robotics CEO: 12-year-old whiz as smart as Ph.Ds — from Yahoo.com by Andrew Lampard; with thanks to Mr. Joseph Byerwalter and Jay Collier for the resources here
Excerpt (emphasis DSC):
After hearing about Rohan’s very successful internship, we traveled to Silicon Valley to find out how Rohan learned so much about robots by such a young age. Watch the video to meet Rohan and some of his robots.
Per Jay Collier (@JayCollier) out in Maine, they are doing something similar with “The Hour of Code:”
The Hour of Code is coming to Maine — from ProjectLogin.com
Excerpt:
Sixteen Maine schools have already pledged to participate, and Project>Login will host an Hour-of-Code Dojo at the Augusta Civic Center December 14.
More than 5,000 Maine students will be joining a national campaign to demystify computer science during the Hour of Code week in December, according to the organizers at Code.org.
Wish we could claim some credit, Dan, but we’re only hanging onto the coat tails of the national Hour of Code campaign and global Coder Dojo movement. We’re excited about both:

Thanks, Jay, for the excellent resources. I hope things go well for the students/staff out there!
Peace,
