Re: CoderDojo
Some good ideas y'all, thanks! I really like the "Hello Worlds" idea in particular. I only recently learned how silly it is to evaluate developers by how many languages they know, so it would be cool to show the kids how a single concept is expressed in many different syntaxes.
I brought my bb-8 to the session today and the kids really enjoyed playing with it, but they weren't particularly interested in programming it. I still think it's a good idea to try arduino and such so I'll definitely do more of that.
A couple new kids were there today but due to a miscommunication they came too late to really get anything done. If they come back the older one (12) wants to make a game in Roblox, so now I'm learning how to use Roblox!
