Teaching kids to code

During our first lockdown, my kids were extremely bored.
They love their extra curricular activities and suddenly they were stuck at home for months with nothing but time on their hands.
I noticed how many of their friends spent hours playing games online and though I don't mind them playing games with their friends, I certainly didn't want them to spend that much time just playing games.
So I signed them up for a coding course, where they learnt so many things.
In the end they were taught how to make a game from the beginning.
Here is my then 10 year olds result.

She was so proud of herself!

@peerke70 yes it was, though the people teaching the course used a variety of sites, but the game itself she used scratch.

@Adriana Yes I agree, it also helped them to appreciate how much work goes into putting games together amongst other skills they were taught!

That looks like so much fun. I wish we had that 30 years ago.

@Naturefreak We kind of had... at the Commodore 64 I wrote rules like: "10 Run..." (can't remember the rest, lol) and then let a helicopter fly over the screen from right to left and back.
That was fun too! (Back then. Now it would be very boring to see with angular image, because you drew that on paper with small squares.)
