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.
