I worked with Alan Kay's VPRI from about 2003-2007 and was fortunate enough to hang out with him in several contexts. He cares most deeply about education and developing higher order thought as a means to becoming better individuals and society. He wanted computers to be a thing children learn from in a very constructive way. He has no ego about himself or his contributions to computer science, but only wishes people would value the thoughtful exploration of learning and building learning environments his research team has worked on.
