I see the target market is middle/high school kids. Any tips for younger kids? I've been trying to get my daughter (8) to enjoy coding more. She does code.org

I've been trying to get my daughter (8) to enjoy coding more. She does code.org and Scratch a bit, but we've been experimenting with Python/PyGame. She really likes drawing and games, but it's pretty difficult to teach.

- sinuhe69 3y agoThere is all kinds of drawing and gaming programs in Scratch and its (subjectively) better cousin Snap! Using Pen (very similar to Turtle drawing) is easy and surprisingly capable. But Pen in Scratch is limiting in term of controlling color and output texts. Snap is much better in this aspect. Blending spites and stamping can result in nice effects as well.
