I think Glitch with Javascript+HTML is great for kids. The trick is to not get into the how and why, but instead let them modify things and work up to writing their own code. I just wrapped-up a project with 5th graders where the kids designed a pixel animation in Google Slides, coded it in Javascript, converted it to C, uploaded it to an Arduino to control WS2812B LEDs. The result is animated digital art. We put a blank canvas in front of the LEDs and the effect is cool. Here’s the code on Glitch: https://led-picture-frame.glitch.me https://led-picture-frame.glitch.me And here is the finished project: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7p20dvbhtsp83yw/IMG_2125.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/7p20dvbhtsp83yw/IMG_2125.JPG?dl=0
