What do people think of having an education distro for kids?

Similar to these:

https://itsfoss.com/educational-linux-distros/

Could we use that Guix GUI written in smalltalk to get started?

EndlessOS has a system for teaching kids, it's calle Hack, it might be
worth checking out.

Does it run on GNU Guix System?

Going by what I'm seeing on that page, in many cases 'education distro 
for kids' would be useful for adults not pursuing an education as well
-- I think we should focus more on the implied 'convenience' aspect than 
being 100% 'education' and 'for kids'.

Greetings,
Maxime.

Sounds as a fantastic idea to me :) If we somehow could get the manpower 
to make it happen.

I think it is an awesome idea. It could be like an old 80s BBC Micro. I
am pursuing making a simple Lisp educational tool myself.

I can commit to working on this project. Let's talk casually on jitsi or
something!

No idea, I haven't tried to compile it or look at its source code.
