Hour of Code: Anybody can learn

Posted on December 9, 2013 by Per Henrik Lausten

This week is the Hour of Code week.

I am going to introduce my oldest son’s school class to programming (he is 8 years old). I will use some of the available resources from code.org such as LightBot,

Who are you going to introduce to the world of programming this week?

have you seen scratch – my son is that age and loves it.

You can connect it to some of the Lego stuff too ( without needing the expensive Lego software )

It comes as standard on the Raspberry Pii

Its a programming gui based on jigsaw patterns

Hi Sean, yes I have heard of Scratch and will consider using that too. However, for the intro in my son’s class I only have 1,5 hours. So I don’t know how much I can introduce them to.
