With scratch, kids can start programming without needing to type fast, or debug errors caused by typos. That allows them to focus on the logic of their program

With scratch, kids can start programming without needing to type fast, or debug errors caused by typos.
That allows them to focus on the logic of their programs.
A 10yo might be fine starting by typing programs in from a manual (what I did) but nowadays people want to introduce programming to 6yo kids.
- LostInTheWoods 4y agotyping fast has nothing to do with programming debugging errors has a lot to do with programming typos are a kind of bug When I was 10, I started programming in BASIC ... we're talking about simple expressions and statements.
- rahimnathwani 4y ago"When I was 10, I started programming in BASIC" Me, too! On the Acorn Electron. My son will turn 6 soon. I think he's ready for Scratch (or at least Scratch Jr) but I'm not sure he's ready for BASIC. I guess I could him a printout of some code and see if he can type it in without errors...
