Tasks page
This is a list of the Tasks Debian Junior is made of:
Table of contents
Tools for children to produce artwork. The simplest of these is
tuxpaint, which is designed for small children. It features sounds
and easy to use controls. For older children, there are gimp and
xpaint. While gimp is more complex, and is aimed at the graphic
artist, it is not necessarily much harder to use than the older,
less full-featured xpaint. Children starting out with just a small
subset of the functions of these tools eventually pick up quite a
number of new things as they explore, either with adults or other
children with whom they share their computers, or on their own.

of all ages. Mastering most of these games requires dexterity
and cognitive skills usually developed only in the older children
(around ages 5 to 8). But the youngest children may enjoy watching
older players, or just poking randomly at the controls, depending
on the game.

A two deck solitaire game for the X Window System
These games all use OpenGL libraries. They will not work without
decent 3D graphics cards providing hardware-accelerated OpenGL.
While armagetron and gltron are different interpretations of the
game depicted in the classic 3D-animated movie "Tron", Tux Racer
is an all-original made-for-Linux 3D racing game. Unlike the
standard blood-and-guts fare in the 3D games universe, all of
these games are suitable for children.

This metapackage will install educational math programs suitable for
children. Some of the packages use mathematics that is well beyond
the abilities of young children (e.g. fractals and cryptography), but
hopefully using these let them gain an appreciation of the beauty of
math from an early age. Other packages allow children to explore and
learn math concepts in an engaging, interactive way. Some packages
are more general, providing math activities as only one part of the
package, e.g. bsdgames includes "arithmetic" in addition to other
non-math games, and x11-apps provides xcalc.

The emphasis for this sampling of programming packages for children
is first on simple interpreted languages. Also important for using
languages with children are good documentation, and some ability to
produce visual programs without too much effort. It is by no means
a complete list, and you are encouraged to explore other languages
with children as well; even those that are not specifically aimed for
children.
The Logo language is specifically designed for children, with a strong
emphasis on the visual and concrete. Littlewizard is an icon-based
graphical programming language also designed for children.
Scratch is an easy, interactive, collaborative, visual programming language
with children from ages 8 and up as their target group.
Arduino is a popular micro controller that is widely used by both people
learning electronics and programming as well as seasoned veterans doing
complex projects. It is necessary to connect a physical Arduino circuit board
in order to experiment with arduino.

GTK+ front-end for eSpeak and mbrola
This package includes a few tools for helping children learn about and
use their system.
Midnight Commander is more than just a file manager. It is shell with
which children can explore and manage their own accounts. It can be a
great help for the very young, as it saves them some typing (as
compared with using a command-line shell directly). It is also packed
with power and flexibility which can be tapped by older children and
adults alike.
The 'hello' sample program can be used as an instructional aid, as
an example of how to invoke programs from the shell, specify switches,
use the man page, and so on.
Baobab, the GNOME disk usage analyzer, enables the user to take a
visual trip into the hard drive contents. It can be a mesmerizing first
step, dvelving into the inner parts of the computer system. It serves
both as an educational tool about file systems and file contents/size
as well as a tool for analyzing what files are big if disk space is
scarce.
Bubblefishymon is a computer load monitor dockapp which shows network
traffic as fishes, CPU usage as bubbles, and a duck representing a
duck.
