I’m thinking of starting a local group for kids (8-12 yo) to learn programming using Scratch.

Do you have any pointers that I might consider?

For reference, I’m a senior developer and architect, the programming part will probably be the easiest of it all.

    7 Billion Humans and Human Resources Machine (same developer) are probably the most kid friendly ones I’ve played. TIS-100 I found quite fun, but it’s assembly like programming which might be a hard starting point for kids. Zachtronics also make some good games, but the ones I’ve played are more programming games masquerading as something else E.g. chemistry with SpaceChem.

      I played the first two you mentioned, definitely not kids friendly. The bonus level with prime numbers was something else.

      I’ll check the other ones.
