Any thoughts about using Sage in elementary school? I think a great project would be to connect the power of Sage with the ubiquity of the OLPC. In Uruguay we are nearing 100% deployment of the XO in public schools (grades 1 to 6), so it would be a good test field; plus there is a lot of young people very enthusiastic about python in the context of education and the OLPC (cf http://drupal.ceibaljam.org/ -- in spanish). At a different level, pushing further the development of new curricula for math at college level (calculus, linear algebra, discrete maths, etc) using Sage would be very useful. A set of books one can use to teach these courses; exercises, problems, all involving lots of experimentation and visualisation using Sage.
