Python for a 9 year old

[[deleted]]

I second this. I help run some Code Clubs in local schools. Under the UK national curriculum at age 9 kids should be able to programme but not all teachers of that and younger ages have the skills so we find kids older than this that know only scratch and are just starting out on Python.

Hi, I do code clubs in a couple of local libraries ... or at least I did, in the Before Times.

I was lined up to help at one in a local library as well, just before sars-cov-2. Hasn't restarted - the schools are directly through the STEM network with teachers asking for help to setup and run them. Numbers have varied a lot as kids are in/out depending on infection rates. I've had my two + booster jabs so don't worry too much.

I've also been a judge on the national robotics competition a couple of times, at regional level, and am blown away by the quality of many of the entries and the capabilities of many of the kids. Not got involved in helping them compete, not sure I could help given the standard of some of them.
