That said, over the summer I taught her some of the basics of programming with a Botley toy, which is a little robot for kids to program. From there she did a bit of CodeSpark before moving onto ScratchJr which as I mentioned she is taking online classes for. I've been amazed at what she has managed to accomplish making things like a very basic Frogger game. Source: over 2 years ago
