[Coco] Back to BASIC

[Salvador Garcia]

If you and your daughter are going to get into Scratch, you might find the following enjoyable:

At the top nav bar, click on Activities. Many of these are based on a Scratch-like language. (They may be Scratch, but I don't know what is going on behind the scenes of this Web site.)

That's awesome Bruce, I had to mostly teach myself, but we did swap ideas
at clubs, and of course the Rainbow.

What a great bonding experience to be able to share with your children.

I'm going to go through a project with my 8 year old daughter in a language
called Scratch that is a simple way to teach coding and create Sprite based
video games.
