Raspberry pi. Talk to me.

As I recall from school there's a flow chart program that gives you an insight into basic program writing. We had to design a program to water plants every so few hours if the inputs from the moisture content readers in the soil read too low a value along with controlling the temperature etc.
So it would go something like "is input 1 value < 10, yes - activate output 1 , no - start at beginning"

Was basic but it helped me get an understanding of how basic coding works and got me to do A level programming in college. And then helped even more in university with writing code in matlab as you can follow the program easier than those who come across it for the first time

We used it at uni. FlowCode?



For age 9 to 11 i wouldnt go that far. I would be looking for some block based program like lego mindstorms! Which is actually a great thing to do. You can program it with blocks and then for older kids you can program it with code.



Love lego mindstorms and there used to be a yearly competition for it too!
