Just was reminded about Scratch, a visual programming language helpful to teach programming.
Scratch is a new programming language that makes it easy to create your
own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art — and share
your creations on the web.
Scratch is designed to help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century learning skills.
As they create Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical
and computational ideas, while also gaining a deeper understanding of the process
of design.Scratch is available free of charge, go to Download.
