Erich Waelde and I did a Forth MCU introduction Workshop last weekend at LinuxTage
Chemnitz with 16 attendees, 3 hours. Ages 17-65. Well recieved. We have
used amForth in the Workshop, but also showed the TI Launchpad with
CamelForth you did together with Michael Kalus.

Thanks, Dirk, for making this great Forth on the TI systems available!.

After the workshop we were able to hand out 2 Ardunino Board and 9 TI
Launchpad preinstalled with Forth. E-Mails recieved this week indicate
that the attendees continue to work with Forth at home after the
workshop. Tutorials, updated books and (portable) example code (running
on multiple MCU systems) would help the idea of using teaching
programming through Forth.

We will continue to do this workshops in 2012, mostly on Open Source
conferences. Especially the TI Launchpad for approx 4 Euro has a great
potential, as 4 Euro is in the budget of even younger people.
