  2. CoderDojo and Scratch by Onetus · · Score: 1 · on Ask Slashdot: How To Introduce a 7-Year-Old To Programming?

    Firstly, I would look to see if there is a CoderDojo - http://coderdojo.com/ - in your area.
    CoderDojo is a global volunteer-led community of free programming clubs for young people. These young people, between 7 and 17, learn how to code, develop websites, apps, programs, games and explore technology. In addition to learning to code attendees meet like minded people and get to show off what they’ve been working on.

    Secondly, I would look at introductory language we use - Scratch - http://scratch.mit.edu/
    Scratch has lots of tutorials aimed directly at kids, and are far better than any of the "type this line and then this one" from various books.

    Scouts have Explorers. When I was in High School I was in a computer technology/electronics Explorer post. It was rad. First taste of computers, programming and stuff. Not a new idea.
