aim really low, could not get a seven year old who loves computer stuff to play with it. I am not sure where the age break point is but it has to be pretty low.

aim really low, could not get a seven year old who loves computer stuff to play with it. I am not sure where the age break point is but it has to be pretty low. By then both niece and nephew were already into games on tablets/computers; usually minecraft; and didn't care for a board game (read: bored game)
Is there a iPad equivalent?
- iagooar 12y agoI started playing with programming when I was about 7, I know of people who started with 5.
- mode80 12y agoMy 4 yr old daughter loves Robot Turtles. That anyone can say that is testament to its awesomeness. The board game format is part of the appeal and allows a kind of interaction (with you) that'd be missing on iPad. But check out code.org for a software alternative with comparable goals.
- brlewis 12y agoWe need a way to introduce automation into minecraft.
- russellsprouts 12y agoI know there are mods that incorporate turtle graphics-controlled agents for automation. Of course, there is also redstone automation, which is useful, but also much more complicated. For slightly older kids, there's the Minecraft Pi edition.
