I was after some programs for 5 – 10 year old to teach them about programming basics

Not sure where I should start as platforms are changing and programs change with time

Something that has the basics for children to start on now so they can get to doing the advance stuff as they know programming better.

Anyone that has found something that has worked or more is working well currently for children who which to get into programming.

QLD is using Scratch in schools as an entry level. My son enjoyed being involved. Might be worth looking at it, they join and they get activities to choose from etc .. Free.

IMO it is getting them to understand the concept and creating an interest as apposed to specific software etc that is in your face. It’s the dif between falling in love and an arranged marriage Razz

I’d suggest that you go along to CoderDojo – your kid will have fun and will learn to code. However, it’s important to not be a helicopter parent, although they’re always looking for volunteers to help mentor, answer questions, manage attendance, etc. This link will help you find one near you:

If there’s none near you, why not start one:
