New page

From the currently available ways to tech kids programming I consider [[wikipedia:Mit|MIT]]'s [[wikipedia:Scratch_(programming_language)|Scratch]] one of the most friendlies. I like the coding style of moving blocks of code - it reminds me of ''kopenograms'' - we used them when coding in [[Karel]] programming language (I'd still prefer to teach kids [[Karel]] as it is simpler and gets to the point, but after recent events I can live with [[Scratch]]).

Another beautiful thing is inherent [[Scratch]]'s support for parallelism and [[actor]] based programming model. This is a great contribution to the future - these skills will be needed more and more.
