What is Squeak?

Squeak

"Squeak is a 'media authoring tool'-- software that you can download to your computer and then use to create your own media or share and play with others. It is free and downloadable here. If you'd like to get a feel for what Squeak looks like without downloading, view a typical early project for kids in HTML (no download needed). Once you download Squeak you can use the Squeak Tutorials and download the handy Etoys Quickstart Guide.Further information can be found in the Squeak FAQ."

Interesting... I wonder if my son will be interested in this? I'd really like to get him into the creative process, instead of just playing.

Well since it's free it's worth a try... :)
