How to teach my 8 years old son programming

1 pointsby truskoalmost 14 years ago
Hi,<p>I would like to introduce my son to programming. He keeps asking me what I do at work and when I started talking he was very interested.<p>Are there any programming tools, languages etc that would help me to introduce him to programming. I am talking about simple stuff like program robot to walk couple of steps, turn right, pick up box walk, turn left, drop the box. You get the picture.<p>Thanks a lot,<p>T.

Perhaps Lego Mindstorms? I've never used it, but from what I know of it, it seems to fit the use case you have in mind.

Try Scratch, it's made by MIT aimed specifically at kids. The "Language" is visual, but it is turing complete.

trusko,<p>i think a graphical programming 'language' would be best for introducing the core concepts without getting bogged down by syntax.<p>have you found something yet? i'm interested to know.<p>-p
