Do you guys know any programs that teach coding for kids? We've used scratch, but I'm not sure it's really teaching much.

Is this something they want to do on their own, or something you would like them to learn. I ask because I think the best answer to your question is contingent on that.

A little of both. I think it is critical in today's emerging job market. The older one is very interested in it. The little one probably isn't that much.

Python is typically the one that's suggested after scratch. Typically there will be some local after school programs or weekend ones for kids up to 18.

That's fantastic. What is your older kid interested in? I would definitely cater to and nurture his interests.

For your younger kid, I'm not sure. I definitely think it can be done at that young an age. I started with Qbasic when I was a bit older than her, but that has been well out of fashion for a while....I know I've seen books geared towards teachings kids to code in python.

She likes Scratch. She is obsessed with Minecraft though she gets an hour tops per day.
