+== Fri, Mar 12 - Interview with "los scratcheros" ==
+
+{{pictures/sugar/deployment/paraguay/caacupe/scratcheros/00008.jpg | The Scratcheros: Nadia, Benedicto and Alberto}}
+
+Today I spent some time with a boy of Caacupe who has impressed me and the
+educators very much with his original creations in Scratch. Scratch is not
+a school subject, these kids are learning it on their own.
+
+ * **What's your name?**
+ * Benedicto
+
+ * **How old are you?**
+ * 12
+
+ * **How did you learn Scratch?**
+ * We tried all the functions. First, we'll try one function, and see what it does.
+
+ * **What job would you like to do when you're done with school?**
+ * Software engineer
+
+ * **Ah, like me! Do you like Turtle Art? What can you do with it?**
+ * Si. I can create rectangles and other geometrical shapes.
+
+ * **How much time do you spend with your laptop every day?**
+ * A few hours.
+
+ * **Nobody is teaching you, yeah? You're learning everything on your own?**
+ * No, with my sister. We try all activities, and when we find one we like, we spend some time on it together.
+
+ * **What other activities do you like besides Scatch and Turtle Art?**
+ * //Ablar con Sara// [Speak] and //Super Vampire Ninja Zero//, //Máquina de discos// (Jukebox).
+
+ * **Would you like to learn a little bit of Python with Pippy?**
+ * Very well!
+
+Then we got started. Python is easy, you can explain the basics to a smart kid in less than 30 minutes.
+We also updated Benedicto's laptop to [[http://oficina.paraguayeduca.org/~bernie/py-xo1/ | build 65]],
+containing the latest version of the Sugar 0.84 branch. Benedicto had been previously testing my previous
+build 45, which contained some networking bugs.
