Kid's Programming Language from Morrison Schwartz

Morrison Schwartz > News and Blogs > Kid's Programming Language!

"Morrison Schwartz last week released a tech preview of our freeware Kid's Programming Language. The announcement, more information, several screenshots and the download link are in our Kid's Programming Language discussion forum.
Kid's Programming Language, in it's fully functional V1 tech preview, is:


  • a simple but complete IDE (integrated development environment) for kids to use

  • a bunch of cool sample programs that teach kids about programming in a fun way - worms, bricks, bugs, bouncing balls, games, etc...

  • a Word doc which provides an overview and documentation about the language itself



We've got lots of other fun things planned for KPL - kid-oriented docs, more games, more educational libraries, such as algebra, graphing and statistics - but as it's already fully functional and working well, we wanted to put it up and start getting feedback. "


Sounds interesting.

My son has expressed an interest to maybe become a coder one day and something like this might help (well he wants to code up games... you know like WoW and Battlefield... ;) Either that or be a MythBuster )
