At this meeting, we will be showing the video called "Squeakers". This is an excellent documentary on Squeak and Alan Kay. Here's the description of the video:

Dr. Alan Kay, known as "the Father of the Personal Computer," has devoted his life to the subject of computers and early childhood education. Thirty years of computer innovation and a deep understanding of how children learn is behind his Squeak programming language - and the new math and science projects shown here with fourth to sixth graders.

A 44-minute Hi Def film of interest to parents, educators, and anyone concerned about how children learn, SQUEAKERS features Alan Kay, Jerome Bruner, Seymour Papert, and a special appearance by Quincy Jones.
