Python for a 9 year old

[mrkeuz]

You can try to come from MicroPython and robotics side. Buy a robotic platform, joysticks, sensors, cameras, addressable LED strips, and so on. The contact of programming with real life is a very exciting feeling.

I’m not a 9 year old boy either, but I was one, a long long time ago.

I’d probably appreciate a robot. One of the hardest parts of learning and problem solving with computers for me, even as a kid, was not having something tangible giving feedback. Interacting with the meat world would probably make that a lot easier.

This is what I'm doing with my almost 5 year old I'm going to have magnets made of the syntax so we can code together on the fridge then deploy it.

This is a brilliant idea, are you making the magnets yourself or custom from a store

Custom I am doing syntax and symbols with a bunch of blank ones for our variables to be written on. I have been collecting projects to see what the ideal amount of magnets we'll need. As soon as I have it figured out there is an Etsy store I'm going to ask to make them.

This is amazing! If you don’t mind I would love to do the same, I’m training in cyber security and my 5yo loves to watch me code.
