I’ve been teaching scratch as an extra curricular for elementary students for a little over a year. I’ve taught 10 year olds basic algorithm stuff with it (boolean, if/then) and basic game dev patterns (event loop, signal/listener) with some success. I have had no success with 6 year olds (granted my attention was divided) but the nice thing is that they were content to use it as paint and drag sprites around.
