We tried scratch, but it bored her for whatever reason. Its a nice environment, though. Python is something she is slowly learning through command line games like rock, paper, scissors. Go, well, I don't want to have her suffer through Go's syntax just yet. BASIC is outdated and too verbose. She has typed C code before and found it fun. Dunno, I don't want her to be anything but herself. This is just a way to spend time together.

You can use a lot of the HATs from Scratch as well as Python. http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Hardware_That_Can_Connect_to_Scratch http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Hardware_That_Can_Connect_t...
- bliti 11y agoI do plan to introduce her to GPIO stuff. Maybe mix it in with a video game of sorts. She does have experience with the Arduino, so the concept of sensors is not new to her.
