Get Squeak: Before you can enter the exciting world of Squeak, you need to download the Squeak plugin at www.squeakland.org
Squeak Projects: Squeak is a free, exciting, multimedia, object oriented programming environment that runs on 25 different computer platforms. Once you have the Squeak plug-in installed, you can access any project from either an IE or Netscape browser. Once the activity loads, click on the orange tab at the left, labeled Navigator (to make it pop up) and then click on Escape Browser to remove the browser controls so you have more room. Also click the Navigator tab shut for more room. Squeak is challenging play and you can make neat etoys. Have fun and explore. Click on any project below to see some Squeak etoys. Several of these have sound so be sure your speaker is turned on. The Squeak projects below were created as web activities for NASA Center for Distance Learning Programs.
