I'd have to completely disagree there. I recently went round a new (high) school with my youngest step-son (who is 11, so year 6 in the UK). He's not really that impressed by most computer stuff which is at a level he'd actually be able to understand/program. While he's shown some aptitude in scratch, etc., I think the problem is that everything that's exciting to him is light years away from whatever he can actually do. However, he and his friends all spent some time on the open evening looking at the micro:bits that were on display which were set up to do various simple things - detect touches or switch presses and change LEDs, etc. His elder sister is of the age that was supposed to get a free Micro:bit, but that didn't happen.... I think I'll have to buy one and have a play!
