It's a text based language, but you program a graphical robot to do various tasks. I've found that it's a great combination of fun and actual coding that helps kids transition from something like scratch to more advanced languages and concepts. I'd say it's good for kids around 12 years old.
- geomark 8y agoThanks for that recommendation. My kid started with Scratch and then did several of the Code.org courses and Hour of Code activities. Been wanting to move him on to learning "real" programming. Was trying to find an easy, online, self-paced Python course but have not found what I want. We've been working through "Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python" book. The programming concepts are not too advanced for him but there is a lot of reading between each step so I have to sit with him and read through it together or boredom and attention span become an issue.
