Here we used Small Basic to teach kids to code: The language has been simplified for that purpose, the UI teaches you as you type, and the interface is simple and easy! See Unlike Java, JavaScript, and Python (which were made for adults), Small Basic was made for kids and young students. Small Basic teaches actual text/syntax-based coding (the professional stuff), helping students take the next step after tile and block-based conceptual coding. Did you know that Microsoft has had tools and programs for kids… for 8 years?
