Scratch is an awesome tool to help kids understand the very basic fundamentals of programming. I had introduced it to a group of students in a local school. I noticed that it did take time for students below Std V (Grade 5) and Std IV (Grade 4) to understand it. Seems like ScratchJr will help them in this case. Hoping for a web based version of this project. 👍

Quite an innovative concept. Looks like the days of BASIC are numbered.
