I was asked how do I get my kids into programming - where do we start? There are a lot of choices but the key is to make it fun, interesting, diverse but also educational.
Here are a few choices for younger kids. What are some other ones you would recommend?
Scratch
Created by MIT. Fun way to create programs with graphical programming blocks.
Raspberry Pi
Created to inspire kids to work with computers. But a ~$40 Raspberry Pi, set it up and program.
Lego Robotics
Nuff said!
Khan Academy
Has an increasing number of programming courses - typically JavaScript
Code
Try the hour of code challenges. Lots of courses.
