What is a good kids computer language/ learning site for my 7 year old grandson?

Question

He knows nothing about programming and I don't want it to be too hard for him starting.

Answer 1

One we are using right now is the ClickNKids Phonics.....Its an online learning game and my son loves it so far....It retails for 59.99 I think but you can get it cheaper right now thru https://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/in... just click on this link or if it does not show up as a link copy and paste it....It really helps them learn where the keys are on the keyboard as well as it goes along with the lessons....

Good Luck and hope this helps..

My son watched a Standard Deviants DVD about HTML programming, and then he went online to find code lists and made his own home page.

Answer 5

I would just spend the $80 to get a Parrelax Boe-bot kit. Your child will have fun building a working robot with a circuit board that requires no soldering, then programming the basic stamp microcontroller with PBasic 2.5.

It's a lot of fun, and you get to start coding right away, but it might be tough to transition into more object oriented languages from there, so i've heard. I've used Boe-bot, but I'm not much of a programmer.
