Why, poor kids?! :) Jokes aside, I don't think is a good idea: * C is more difficult to learn than python. * In the images there are not gcc and make. * Compiled c code is dependent of the platform, and we do not have a good solution to multiplatform binaries in the activities. Why you think, learning C can be good for kids? Create a IDE with the simplicity needed by the sugar design is a challenge.
