Teaching Computer Programming at Home
This past week I had a great time teaching my 9-year-old son Alex and 9 of his friends computer programming in my home. I used Kodu Game Lab and Small Basic, two free tools created for kids to learn programming. I wrote a series of blog posts about it on my personal site Charette.com:
