One of the recent MIT Media LabCASTSs has an engaging story on their Scratch programming language that essentially makes programming accessible and fun for K-12 students. It draws its inspiration from Seymour Papert’s famous Logo programming language. Scratch is a free download and works on both Mac and Windows platforms. (I’m somewhat surprised that there’s no package for Linux distros, but maybe that’s coming in the not-too-distant future.) I wish I would have had this when I was young, K-12′er.
