Re: Programming courses for 11-15 olds with the RPi

In all honesty I think the biggest RSI threat to youngsters these days comes from the xBox/Playstation controllers. I doubt that a bit of programming is likely to significantly increase the risk.
Controllers are significantly more ergonomic than an average keyboard and mouse, and are much more comfortable for extended use. That is common knowledge and supporting information is available on the internet. As an ex-RSI sufferer I can also confirm this without reservation.

Anyway I didn't intend to start an argument (I know the topic pretty intimately anyway), people are free to do whatever they choose with their own sproglings.
