１．プロジェクト全体の概要

　This project was intended to be organized around interesting research areas that would arise from making the Squeak/Tweak development environment more suitable for use in Japan and elsewhere in the world. During this period, the grant awarded concentrated on developing a computer system that could help children learn without needing adults as primary instructors. Today there are a number of active research groups around the world and now in Japan seeking to make better authoring environments for children that will work on a larger scale and over greater age ranges.
