Final Atomic Buster!: India
A do-gooder / traveler / teacher friend of mine wants me to go to India with her to help teach an elementary robotics course. I assume that most of the programming in this course would be based on some type of bastardized BASIC language. From my years of line and Q-BASIC I am quite good at this :)
I’m glad to see this post. Two comments. First, if you go to India your views would be built into the trip. Meaning, if you think the Khan academy would be a great resources for them, I say, bring it to them. Secondly, the robotics is more about the critical thinking skills and creative problems solving than about refining professional skill sets. That said, I have been wrestling with the issue of locality for years, with still no solid opinion.
